It's really interesting to see what's going on in Germany, where they have the classical music, "E", and entertainment music, "U", and they tax them differently, so radio stations actually benefit from playing classical music, which is very good in terms of promotion of classical music. Of course, many people have complained (from the "U" scene, mostly) and have demanded that music is treated equally, but I guess it's a kind of counter-balance to the over-commercialised societies we live in, just like hiring more black people to counter-balance the racism against black people, for example.
