I reported this story a little before (I think) it showed up on such reputable places as f*ckedcompany. Have you read the response!? Remember when the RIAA said they didn't really mean to sue the guy giving a presentation on the SDMI challenge? For those of you who haven't caught on to my point, they're covering their asses with everything possible.

Please try not to be so gullible. This message was sent to every station - and while not requiring them to actually ban these songs, this represents a great amount of pressure to not play them.

Think about it, one company owning all those radio stations - they're going to want a lot of control over what gets played. They hire program directors who follow orders and dj's that rely on playlists. I'm not making this stuff up! Commercial radio is a well orchestrated system that's fueled by big profits. They didn't want to look bad by playing these songs, and now that word's out, they don't want to look bad about that. Use your heads people, argue all you want about this being untrue, but think of where this argument comes from and what interest that source has in making people believe this.
