Ok, hypothetical was the wrong word. The comparison has grounds: i have money, our average junkie doesn't- profit making internet radio stations have/make money, non=profit ones don't.
the apostrophes weren't implying that their treatments weren't justified, just that i couldn't be arsed going into specifics.
And in case you missed the point earlier, i don't think either should have to pay.
