How does one go about landing such a job, I wonder. The perqs sound pretty good to me.<SMALL>Spitzer said the financial benefits involved direct bribes to radio programmers, including airfare, electronics, and tickets to sports events and concerts; payments for operational expenses; radio contest giveaways; hiring independent promoters to funnel illegal payments to radio stations, and buying "spin programs" to artificially increase airplay.</SMALL>

Five million dollar fine for Warner?
Ten Million dollar fine for Sony?
No big deal. That's almost nothing, chump change, really. Especially for Sony, a company that's generating over a billion per quarter in income.
Let's see, make 4+ billion, get fined 10 million? No sweat...that's less than 1/4 of a percent. Yeah, that really sends a message.
NOT!
