You know it made me angry at Rush that he charges for his Internet radio, so although I like him and listen to him on the radio, I do not go to his web site very often. If he had not done that I would probably put it up for my home page. Rush's position on charging for everything like it was stealing about these music cd's seemed crazy to me too. You can listen to the radio and tape what you want, so what is the difference?

Why does it make you angry? You aren't forced to purchase his product. He has a lot of stuff for free on the site. I think he's doing a great job--practicing the capitalism he preaches.

I am not a subscriber to Rush's site, but I'm not mad at him for making extra $$ on the 'net.

He's got a point about downloading music, though I must admit for me personally, it has resulted, I know, in me buying more music than I had before. I'll download some stuff from an artist I've only heard once or twice, and then if I like it I'll go buy a CD. File sharing, in my case, has resulted in MORE CD sales for the RIAA.

I listen to Rush's internet broadcast and have never paid for it.

Are you dysfunctional or something?

He CHARGES for the SERVICE of re-playing a broadcast, but his LIVE internet broadcast can be had FOR FREE ...

(You DON'T THINK that it takes real, live RESOURCES to provide ANY kind of service on the internet?)

"Rush that he charges for his Internet radio"

I have never paid a dime to listen to Rush online. I listen to him most days at work.
