Listening to the radio has been something that we can all identify with because no matter where you are there will always be a radio station playing to please its listeners. It is pretty obvious that listening to radio is free of cost, thanks to the revenue generated by advertising. You can be sure that the content will also be prepared according to the requests and needs of its audience not unless it caters to a niche type of audience.
And while there have always been illegal ways of getting free music, this one by now has been largely untouched due to the fact that the music played on the radio is for promotional purposes, to say the least.
Thanks to the internet that has brought the power back to the people, there have been several instances when obtaining free copies of music has become easier than ever. Since laws are only limited to certain countries, internet users in other countries have access to a lot of free content that would be illegal in certain countries such as the United States and in Europe.
And yet again, the medium of streaming radio has still not yet been harmed in anyway due to the fact that it reaches a wider audience through the airplay of songs, making this medium one of the most loved and timeless ways to listen to great music while not having to pay for it.
