Because the MAAFIA is scared of the internet?
And doesn't want people to even think about rtecording things from it the way
they've been doing with over-the-air for decades now.

Just as a pure guess, it may be because purveyors of Internet
radio can produce hit counts to prove their listenership levels,
whereas over-the-air radio cannot.
Then again, over-the-air (both radio and TV) seems to be a
dying breed, what with the alternatives available, so it isn't
surprising that Internet-delivered content ad rates are on the
rise.

Back in the beginning of Radio, record companies were willing to agree to forgo
royalties on over the air play, as a marketing exercise, so consumers would hear
the music and buy the record. Consumers, except for call in requests had no
control over what was played on the air, so convenience meant buying the record
or putting a nickle in the juke box. It was also difficult to track what was
played on every radio station in the country.
In the computer and Internet age it is easy track what is played over the
Internet (or the air but that horse is out of the barn), it is also easy and
convenient for Consumers to select what the want to hear and have no incentive
to actually buy a product.
The bottom line is a long time ago Record Companies thought air play helped them
sell records, now they don't the Internet play does.
