Wow, this must have just happened in the last 12 months (I last looked 
into this about a year ago).

Can you point out a URL to the info.  Actually, not really the info, but 
any opinions regarding this from artists, radio stations, mailing list 
discussions, etc.  I'm sure the RIAA has a page or two up about this, 
but it's probably devoid of reasoning, etc.

Thanks for the heads up.
