| Will internet broadcasters actually follow up this time?
In a one-paragraph document issued Tuesday, Chief Copyright Royalty Judge James Scott Sledge invited all of the parties who requested the rehearing to submit documents detailing their positions and arguments by April 2. I guess we'll see how many actually follow up and submit comments by the scheduled date. They had a year to submit documents during the original hearing process and didn't do a thing. Maybe this time they will actually take part. -- -- My BLOG My Web Page |

| Ok so what about stations that pay nothing like a few I listen to that run on listener donations to stay afloat? if the RIAA doesn't know about you or something do you slide under the radar? -- "Sure there have been injuries and deaths in boxing - but none of them serious."- Alan Minter, Boxer"I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada."- Britney Spears, Pop Singer |

  Jason Levine Premium join:2001-07-13 Albany, NY | reply to Chiyo I'm sure some stations would be able to slide under the radar, but the minute they were found out they would owe the RIAA huge fees. It's not a situation that many Internet radio stations will choose to put themselves in. |

| reply to cableties said by cableties :The most important voice, NPR, will. And I'm sure, will represent ALL the public stations. BTW, why are your avatars so...obnoxious? Does it reflect... Perhaps your NPR station is different, but mine usually plays all classical music in the public domain that requires no royalties be paid.
[rant] I may need to listen more, I enjoy the classical music, but when the talk shows come on, it almost puts me to sleep. Their "content" isn't bad per se (I'm politically right leaning and if you didn't know it NPR is traditionally left leaning), it's informative at times, but the delivery??? Who wants to listen to a monotone delivery with a complete lack of emotion.. They should not be so stoic in their delivery and at least pretend that what they are talking about affects them emotionally. [/rant] -- huh? | AIM | The beauty of ignorance is indescribable. |

| reply to TK Junk Mail TCH - apparently you like the RIAA sticking it to Net radio, but why isn't the RIAA not sticking it to over the air radio or satellite radio? Payola scandals plague over the air stations as of late. Maybe the RIAA should be paying Net radio too?
If I was going to record a radio station it would be satellite or over-the-air not Net since the quality is far better. The RIAA doesn't care about the artists so don't try and pass that crap by me. The record companies have a history of screwing artists. Elton John paid $33 million for the rights to his stuff just to get it out of their hands a few years ago. Why? He knew he could make a heck of a lot more owning his songs. |

Dump NPR. Taxes pay for it. With all the news out there, why do with need a taxpayer paid station? Only news rejects work there. Considering how bad CNN's ratings are, how hard is it to land a job there? NPR is a taxpayer rip-off. |

| reply to manfmmd These are not royalties on the work itself; they are royalties on public performance of those works. So unless the station is performing the work using their own orchestra or are playing a public domain recording, of which there are few, then the RIAA will be in the station's pockets rummaging around for what amounts to the yearly budget for some. -- Toolmaster of La Grange. |
