The FCC seems to be having some second thoughts about the new fine structure.
"I understand it," [Michael] Powell [Chairman of the FCC] said, referring to Congress' desire to make performers pay. "But I have some reservations with the FCC going after performers."
Powell said artists have always enjoyed protection under the First Amendment governing free speech and slamming them with large fines would be "a very touchy area for the FCC."
Thanks to Jesse for the tip.
