I am an Internet Radio listener – I listen to it on a daily basis, and am listening to it as I write this. I even contribute $ to it.
If you are an Internet Radio listener, I encourage you to go to the SaveNetRadio.org web site and show your support. Even if you are not an Internet Radio user, I encourage you to support it — the ideal goes beyond Radio, and it is about Choice… On this age, on which the Internet is part of our daily lives, Net music must go on…
From the SaveNetRadio.org web site:
“The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on May 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). If the increased rates remain unchanged, the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date. Internet radio needs your help! H.R. 2060, The Internet Radio Equality Act was introduced by Representatives Jay Inslee (D-WA) and Donald Manzullo (R-IL ) to save the Internet radio industry. Please call your congressperson to ask them to co-sponsor H.R. 2060”.
