He Said, She Said

As many of you have probably noticed by now, all of internet radio did not disappear on July 15. There was a rough agreement reached that would allow the majority of net radio stations to continue broadcasting. However, the broadcasters are now claiming that SoundExchange really wanted them to implement DRM, and now they're using the new fees as leverage to make it happen. SoundExchange says that the broadcasters aren't telling the whole truth, but they won't actually address anything that DiMA (Digital Media Association, the broadcasters basically) is saying. On the flip side, DiMA hasn't actually come right out and said anything specific about what is being requested. Essentially, we have two groups that are just bickering about what is happening. As a consumer, I'm obligated to side with DiMA, but I really wish everyone would just be more open about what is going on. I can easily see there being truth to what DiMA is saying, given history. Why SoundExchange won't just come out and address things makes me wonder, though. I mean, everyone already hates them, is there really any risk in them telling us more?
