Re:[OT] [microsound] death of internet radio?

I don't fully understand how the RIAA and these laws work, can anybody shed 
some light for me?  Are labels required by law to be "members" of the RIAA?  
Couldn't a seperate organization be set-up to represent independant labels 
who choose to exempt themselves from these rules?  If so, web radio stations 
would just have to stop broadcasting major-label, RIAA affiliated releases, 
but could continue to play other music.  What am I missing here?  I've 
always wondered this about publishing too -- why isn't there an alternative 
to ASCAP and BMI?
