GOVERNMENT KILLED THE INTERNET RADIO STAR?

Do you like getting to work, getting settled in and tuning your computer to your favorite station? If that sentence didn't make sense, well you probably don't listen to internet radio much... or maybe you just don't have a computer (so, how are you even reading this right now?). Well the folks over at Save Net Radio are leading a campaign to help save internet radio as we have come to know and love it.

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 July 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 recently been introduced in both the House (H.R. 2060) and Senate (S. 1353) to save the Internet radio industry. Please call your senators and your representative to ask them to co-sponsor the Internet Radio Equality Act.

By going to their site you can get more info, get involved and ensure that your beloved 'puter radio will remain "on-air."
