This story is under the radar, but internet radio is facing a potentially fatal blow. Royalty rates for webcasters have been raised drastically, and go into effect on May 15. On that date, many webcasters will be forced to pay huge fees, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2006, or cease broadcasting. This is two weeks away!
You can help. A bipartisan bill has been introduced to Congress, and you can call your representative to voice your support for the Internet Radio Equality Act - H.R. 2060. But timing is key! Call now, before the streaming music dies.
