Do you like to listen to music? Do you listen to any online radio stations? Or websites that stream music?
If you do any of the above, after May 15th you may not have that option thanks to a new royalty
rates being pushed by the recording industry.
From the website, www.savenetradio.org
"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! The Internet Radio Equality Act has just been 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 this bill by clicking below."
If you value choice and music in this country, please respond today to this serious issue.
Thank you very much.
