According to SaveNetRadio, The Copyright Royalty Board in Washington, DC has more than tripled the royalty rates for webcasters[...]. These exorbitant rates go into effect on May 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!).
Of course such a change will put a lot of webcasters and services like Pandora out of business. Last.Fm would be a

I don't get it really. Why would last.fm go out of business. I mean all they would have to do is shut down their radio portion of the site and then they would be safe right? I'm just a bit confused on the whole thing.

I have had a last.fm account for a while, when it was still Audioscrobbler and I'm a subscriber so I definitely hope they don't go under :( . I would give more money if they let me.

As you know, the future of internet radio is in serious jeopardy. Thanks to all your letters and calls to Congressional representatives the “Internet Radio Equality Act ", H.R. 2060, has been co-sponsored by over 70 Representatives in just 2 short weeks!

Now internet radio needs your help again: Due to the amazing momentum of the Internet Radio Equality Act in the House of Representatives, Senators Ron Wyden of Oregon and Sam Brownback of Kansas have introduced a companion bill in the Senate, S. 1353, also named “The Internet Radio Equality Act.”

We ask that you take a moment to now call your Senators to ask them to co-sponsor S. 1353, The Internet Radio Equality Act, introduced by Senators Ron Wyden of Oregon and Sam Brownback of Kansas.

In addition, if you have not called your representative in the House yet, we ask that you make this call as well to ask your representative to co-sponsor H.R. 2060, The Internet Radio Equality Act, introduced by Rep. Jay Inslee of Washington.

To find the phone numbers for your Senators and for your Congressional representative, as well as talking points for the calls, please visit http://capwiz.com/saveinternetradio/home/ and enter your zip code.

As you can see from the speed at which the House bill is picking up co-sponsors, your phone calls are an extremely effective way to pressure your representatives in Congress to lend their support to internet radio.

Your opinion matters to your representatives, and it matters to us. Without your support these bills could not have been introduced and without your continued support they cannot be passed.



Please visit SaveNetRadio.org to continue following the fight to Save Internet Radio.
