rgoulet join:2000-10-27 Pittsburgh, PA	Our last best hope to fight mediocrity Where do I signup? Where do I send my contributions? I need to help this cause. Its bigger than just the ability to listen to decent music at work. We live on the verge of what could be a very sad era for American culture. The forces of creeping mediocrity and anti-democratic choice restriction are slowly eating away at the vitality and diversity that has made American Culture as powerful and engaging as it is. hmmm. . . mediocrity and no choice. . . sounds like soviet era politics (which proved that decay necessarily follows from lack of choice). Well we've already lost our choice at the polls. And now in one of fate's curious ironies, unrestrained capitalist greed has started to twist and pervert our democratic polity so as to fashion for itself a kind of neo-soviet market of consumers robbed of any choice. ONE record company cartel. ONE oil company cartel. ONE film studio cartel. ONE radio and television cartel. ONE news outlet. You have no choice. You are irrelevant. Internet radio is one small area that is seeking to open up to more diversity, more voices, more ideas, more formats, more choices for everyone. Tell me, where on the radio dial can I hear Digweed & Sasha? Remember that we aren't irrelevant yet, and that we will have to fight to keep choice. Write you congressman. Write your senator. Write your newspaper. Write your grandmother. Just let your voice be heard or the bastards will take it away from you.

rmartin123 join:2000-06-19 Dayton, OH clubs:	I wonder First let me say I am a moderate but I am sure I will get flame by republicans for this comment but... I wonder if Gore won the election, would we still have to deal with all this? Would this even get past the "idea" stage? I highly doub't it since one he is a democrate and two he is pro-internet --- hey he invented it you know I just really feel that lately our privacy and freedom has been jeopardised and I wonder if there was a democratic administration in office would we still have these issues or at least issues as bad as this?

If my 80's hard rock/heavy metal stations are no longer around to listen to @ work, I will be pissed. Regards Shark... -- 416/416 SDSL thru Megapath [text was edited by author 2002-05-01 16:03:05]

mainarea join:2002-01-07 Kendall Park, NJ	It's Working... It seems to be working - even with Cogent's mega bandwidth, I can't get through to SaveInternetRadio.org (and I usually can). Hopefully, if this mess works out, I'll officially launch my station (was going to launch it about a month ago, but didnt want to pay for a server and then have to shut it down because I couldnt afford to broadcast). - matt

rgoulet join:2000-10-27 Pittsburgh, PA	reply to rmartin123 Re: I wonder "Republican" and "Democrat" are just words used to keep you from realizing that you don't really have a choice (I mean really, what is the difference??). Greed doesn't have a political preference, and is happy to buy all of the politicians it can, regardless of party. Whatever party your senator and representative belong too, make sure you remind them that their job still depends on you!

Siljanus join:2000-12-13 Chevy Chase, MD	reply to rmartin123 Re: I wonder Gore in office probably wouldn't have made a difference. The RIAA gives money to both Republicans and Democrats. For example, Sen. Holling's "Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act" was co-sponsored by a nice bipartisan cast of characters: Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, John Breaux, D-La., Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. So who says that Republicans and Democrats can't get along? Also, take a look at »www.opensecrets.org/ which breaks down quite nicely the political money trail.

Zenonatam join:2001-12-05 Houston, TX	Internet Radio Silence Jerm I feel your pain. Really enjoyed shoutcast.com's commentaries today... Early morning and mid-day jitters without internet radio. I'm hoping for a solution that will allow many stations to continue broadcasting without being directed by the need for profit.
