Clear Channel Launch Music and Video Streaming

In an effort to promote artists, Clear Channel are streaming music and videos from their site. I seem to remember Clear Channel being a bit shitty on the whole freedom of expression thing. I found this on Wikipedia:

Following the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., a list of songs apparently recommended to be removed from airplay as inappropriate during a time of national mourning was generated and circulated. A small list was initially generated by the Clear Channel office, though individual program directors added many of their own songs. A list containing about 150 songs was soon circulating on the Internet. The criteria for choosing the songs seemed to be unreasonable to many. A number of songs were apparently placed on the list because they had specific words such as "plane", "fly", and "falling" in their titles. Many people found it particularly ludicrous that John Lennon's "Imagine" was one of the songs listed.

There are also movements within the music industry to assist artists in looking out for the likes of Clear Channel such as the website www.clearchannelsucks.net, on their site it states:

ClearChannelSucks.net was created to provide specific information about the radio and music industry to musicians and artists from around the globe. The more knowledge you have about the industry, the less likely you will run into the same problems other artists have encountered

Now, if your not completely turned off by all of this. You can listen to the entire, yet unreleased, Jay Z Album HERE.
Thanks to Perez Hilton for that link...
