"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! -- Meet Bill and Karolyn at www.theslowskys.com
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. -- Toolmaster of La Grange.
Holy sh!t The poor broadcasters will be doomed when they get the retroactive bill for using your buddy Ed's pipes. -- Meet Bill and Karolyn at www.theslowskys.com
