Transistor kills the radio star?

As dificeis relações entre rádio e indústria musical

«MediaPost has detailed analysis of several analysts' projection for Internet radio revenue, which could someday rival terrestrial radio. Online advertising is the fastest growing segment for newspapers and radio alike, growing by 16 percent during the first quarter of the year. Advertising via online radio has several advantages over terrestrial: it's interactive to spur purchases or other actions, it adds a visual element (banners etc.) to compliment the audio messaging, and it can be used to sell music.
Internet radio should be the music industry's best friend, but instead the two groups are constantly sparring. Radio stations are offering "click to buy" options for recently heard tracks to encourage sales, but the copyright holders group is doing everything it can to prevent the growth of online radio.
