"The term privately held company refers to the ownership of a business company in two different ways: first, referring to ownership by non-governmental organizations; and second, referring to ownership of the company's stock by a relatively small number of holders who do not trade the stock publicly on the stock market."
In this case the term private does not refer to the ownership of the company's stock. the use of the word private in the post is referring to a private company rather than a government organization.
I have no problems with the press or spectators tweetbookblogspacing I am not sure I feel the same way about any of the parties involved in the case though - Jurors/lawyers/judges and the like
Thank you. You are correct there is no practical difference between the fee and a tax. If the radio station wants to continue broadcasting music they will have to pay a new tax to do so.
Is there really a practical difference form a 'tax' and a 'fee' when the government is imposing it? It is common practice in my state that when taxes are cut a few months later fees rise to cover the shortfall. Election season hits and the rats at the statehouse talk proudly of the tax cuts and ignore the fact that they raised fees to pull the same money out of your pocket.
Copyright expert William Patry put it strongly at the conclusion of his new book, Moral Panics and the Copyright Wars, writing, "I cannot think of a single significant innovation in either the creation or distribution of works of authorship that owes its origins to the copyright industries."
I do not know if this is the case here but ... If Radio Station A has ponied up 3/4 of a gazillion dollars to be ' The Official Radio Station' of the Iggles and part of that agreement between Radio station A and the Iggles is the exclusive right to use ticket giveaways as a promotion I could see Station A getting very grumpy and asking the Iggles to stomp on Station B when they are using Iggles tickets as a promotion.
Which would probably end up in Station B trying to get around it by giving away tickets to 'the big game sunday' and not mentioning the Iggles at all.
