a blog post by a musician titled, "It's Unfair: Your Internet Radio Listening Makes Me Poor."

Answer 1

The source most likely to have a strong bias is **a blog post by a musician titled, "It's Unfair: Your Internet Radio Listening Makes Me Poor."**

This source is likely to express the personal feelings and opinions of the musician regarding internet radio and its impact on their income, which can introduce a significant bias. In contrast, the other sources—research studies and academic web pages—are more likely to provide a more objective analysis of the topic.
