back-words... riaa, limitations, penalties, and broadcasting...

*** this topic had been getting a lot of attention at various sites and forums focused on edm, djs, and broadcasting- particularly so just before the riaa ruling a couple years ago. with things getting more serious, i wanted to get some facts and discussion going, but it didn't happen with my post. i already had my own arsenal of facts and opinions, but i wanted some comparative discussion to take place. oh well...

riaa, limitations, penalties, and broadcasting...
i have recently encountered some debates regarding the
riaa, permissions, and broadcasting... i just wanted
to know everyone's understanding of it and where they
stood on the issues posed by this uproar...

has the riaa massively swept through internet stations
and sued those who have sought license or permissions?

i hear a lot of what they are harping about is still
proposals and not law yet- is this true?
some net radio stations are employing a music
repository that contain permitted tracks and i was
wondering if this is likely to be the new practice....
as there are countless net stations will most stations
merely offer a middle finger to the establishment and
continue to cast regardless of what the riaa and
others say?

also doesnt this restriction compromise the freedom of
expression as djs are artists, too? if so, isnt that unconstitutional?
