    FCC Plans Payola Investigation
    Settlement May Reflect Broad Violation, Commissioner Says

    The Federal Communications Commission said yesterday it would investigate Sony BMG Music Entertainment's payola settlement with New York state to see whether anyone involved broke the FCC's pay-for-play rules, which can bring civil fines of up to $32,500 per violation.

    Sony BMG last month agreed to pay $10 million to settle allegations by New York Attorney General Eliot L. Spitzer that some of its workers lavished cash, trips and other bribes on radio stations to get its music on the air.

    It is funny that they complain about people breaking laws and yet they break the laws too.
