The relationship between artists and radio, however, is just such a mutually beneficial arrangement. Here's a better way to look at the whole thing - again, through the eyes of our enterprising young dairy pusher. A store owner samples milk from a number of farmers' cows. He or she finds one sample to be particularly tasty and therefore asks the farmer if s/he can give a taste of that milk to a whole crapload of her friends, who in turn, might themselves be willing to purchase a whole crapload of the especially tasty milk, which ultimately benefits the farmer. Note that we're dealing with a "taste" of the milk, as Internet radio broadcasters aren't actually providing people with a "free" viable product. It is, in fact, a sample of that product. Believe it or not, there was a time when such a service was deemed so valuable to artists and labels, that they were willing to actually pay the radio stations for it. Yes, my head is about to explode, too.
