I really don't think that most churches think that Rock is "harmful and dangerous" (for example one of my ministers once gave a sermon that was in part about Jimi Hendrix "genius wasted because of drugs" sorta deal) and the churches that think Rock is "harmful and dangerous" by and large also don't like Christian Rock. I kind of doubt a band could take advantage of the system to "prey (no pun intended, I should hope) on a captive audience . . . if they were just in it for the bucks (what little there are) it would all be pretty transparent, and they probably wouldn't get the contracts. --the Talking Drum
