Re: Interesting
If 99% of these outfits barely make enough cash to pay expenses, why is the RIAA worrying about them?
With EMI allowing DRM-free music, I think the cracks in the RIAA's ruthless tactics are showing. |

"Rep. Jay inslee (D-WA) and Rep. Don Manzullo (R-IL) have headed the "Internet Radio Equality Act," which aims to stop the controversial March 2 decision which puts royalty of a .08 cent per song per listener, retroactively from 2006 to 2010 on internet radio."
Retroactively? To Jan 2006? Damn!

| Yeah, the old rate expired over a year ago. Takes them awhile to get around to this sort of thing. The retroactivity was a major issue, since some stations would have had to come up with almost a half million dollars in additional fees that they were not expecting to have to pay, by May 15.

The poor broadcasters will be doomed when they get the retroactive bill for using your buddy Ed's pipes.
