Re: United States Copyright Royalty Board ??
TCH -Actually, they did. Internet Radio Stations did file objections.
You might want to ask the RIAA how that payola scheme went for record labels. I know the NY AG wasn't impressed. I think there were a lot of fines. I know some people were fired at radio stations over it. |

| Actually, the RIAA and Webcast Radio Stations were negotiating and it broke down. The RIAA clearly wants them out of business because they used to pay a percentage of their revenue (a logical solution).
This is from RAIN:
"The Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) has announced its decision on Internet radio royalty rates, rejecting all of the arguments made by Webcasters and instead adopting the "per play" rate proposal put forth by SoundExchange(a digital music fee collection body created by the RIAA)."
»www.kurthanson.com/archive/news/···ex.shtml
Why the arguments are not posted I don't know.
The funny part: Radio stations over the air are not affected since they are not streming. Now, that makes a lot of sense. Oh, wait, the RIAA's members own those mostly. |
