kudos:2 | Sample of things to come Welcome to the evolution of broadcasting royalties.
As digital streaming becomes more commonplace, so does content-providers' knowledge of who/how many people are listening/watching what.
There's no question that smaller Internet Radio stations are being flushed here, but it also seems that the larger operations are guinea pigs for streaming, one-to-one royalty rates. |

| Affects More Than Internet Radio Broadcasters The new rates affect more than just internet radio broadcasters.
The way the new rates are written, it will affect ANYONE who streams - this includes Sirius/XM internet streams and Terra Radio Stations that stream.
There there are those companies that provide streaming services, web services, hardware (SanDisk has a cool wi-fi Internet Radio player coming out this month) and broadcast software - all affected.
This is more than a hobbiest/non-commercial internet radio broadcaster issue.
