Payola
The term "Payola Express" is popularly associated with the late American musician and radio personality, Alan Freed. He was known for his role in promoting rock and roll music in the 1950s and was implicated in a payola scandal, where record labels were accused of bribing radio DJs to play their songs. Freed's involvement in this controversy led to significant changes in radio broadcasting regulations.
Payola. A kickback type scheme used mostly in crooked government situations.
Payola is a term that was originally used to describe the money or other payment that was given in the music industry to get the radio stations to play an artist's music on air. It has broadened in scope to also now represent any bribery of influential people for promotion of a product, etc.
Payola is important because it helps ensure fair competition in industries such as music and broadcasting by preventing individuals or companies from unfairly influencing which songs are played or promoted. This practice promotes diversity, enables a level playing field for all artists, and helps audiences discover a wider range of music.

The payola scandal was significant because it exposed the corrupt practices within the music industry, where record labels paid radio stations to promote their songs, undermining the integrity of music promotion. This led to a public outcry over ethical standards in broadcasting and the fairness of music distribution. The scandal prompted legislative scrutiny, resulting in stricter regulations on payola practices and greater transparency in the industry. Ultimately, it reshaped the relationship between artists, record companies, and radio stations, emphasizing the need for ethical conduct in music promotion.
Like any other law, copyright laws do not "prevent" anything. However, they are designed to give a copyright owner the power to punish those who violate the law. Copyright laws restrict who can reproduce, publish, distribute, modify, publicly perform, publicly display or digitally transmit various types of copyrighted works, with numerous exceptions. Not all works are copyrighted and copyrights eventually expire.
"Copyright in fragment" is a common misspelling of "copyright infringement," which is the violation of copyright.
