While I sympathize with the artists (not the labels), I also sympathize with the broadcasters. I have a few friends in the music broadcasting business, and I know how hard they struggle to stay afloat. They might be able to make small payments per song, but they make very little on advertising (from what I've heard, I can't actually quote numbers).
They might be able to deal with small royalty fees, but anything drastic would bring down nearly all small stations.
