We will take a foot note from the French and begin the rebellion against them
around the globe. We will go on media campaigns to stop them. Bring their
manipulation to the forefront and allow the people to be our judge. If our
cause is right then the people will listen. After all the enemy of my enemy is
my friend. Don't think for a moment that the people can be manipulated like
they have. The people will not be stopped.

From my cyberacquaintance Janice Busgal Brooks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
On Friday March 2nd 2007, the Copyright Royalty Board announced new
royalty rates for Internet Radio stations. The rates are retroactive
to
January of 2006.
The new rates are far higher than any industry experts expected. In
fact, if they remain unchanged, bankruptcy looms for many online radio
stations.
The new rates essentially levy a tax of $0.0011 per performance. Now,
that doesn't sound bad does it. But consider this. Each hour, the
average radio station plays 16 songs. So that's about 1.76c per hour,
per listener. A station with 500 listener average would be hit with
fees
of $211 per day, $6,336 a month or $76,000 a year.
This amount of money is beyond the resources of all but the very
wealthiest of corporations. Many of the internet radio stations are
run
by enthusiasts and hobbyists. These small stations are the ones
bringing
new music, and old favorites to you every day. Music you can't hear on
corporate-owned terrestrial stations.
Could this be the day the music died?
