[grc] Reporting requirements for streaming stations

[Otis Maclay]

just a point:

music listeners want playlists. if you do playlists (like using the
confessor) you can report anyway.
and a point about reporting: artists actually get a check. when you report,
your giving the artists money. different from PRO's which give the writer
money, not the performer (unless the performer is the writer).

reporting: gives money to deserving individual and provides playlist for
listener.

Why not give veterans a monthly stipend when they walk in the door,..  THEN
figure out how much they're supposed to get?
