Good business model or failed concept?

I dont get it.

We say people wont pay to get around ads, blah blah blah...

There's pretty good emperical evidence that people will pay to get what they want.

How many of you dont have cable tv? There's free stuff still out there, just hang an aerial in the air, ad powered network tv is still there. And you can even get HD.

How many of you have satellite radio? I know I do, and will never buy another car that doesn't have it. Even though I have at least 30 or so broadcast stations to choose from where I'm at.

Paying to get what you want vs getting around ads are 2 different issues.

Would you have paid to hear my lame ass ad free when I was talking smack on live365?

Or listen to Headless cackle and call JimTheFiend up at his McDonalds or Capt D's day time job?

live365 for the most part had LAME programming.
