What about uploading from AM listeners?

Ok. I guess that's the obvious answer.

I suppose the fact that you guys can make digital copies and stream them over the internet made it not so obvious in my mind. I'm not questioning what you're doing by any means, I'm just curious how this works. Is it simply that you guys have to own the original recordings? (even if you might've bought them used, thereby not sending any royalties to the artist).

I'm all for protecting artists incomes, but some of this doesn't make sense to me. If you were offering downloads I'd understand.

If any of this is sensitive or too complicated, no prob. Just curious. Too my mind, getting the stuff heard is a good thing for the artists. I know it's led to purchases on my part.
