Guys, the article headline is incredibly misleading. SoundExchange is just waiting for the outcry to die down a little bit with stupid headlines like that so that a huge number of people think problem is already solved. Then a few weeks later they will try to collect. All their negotiation talk has been total BS for the last 1.5 years with small webcasters, just a bunch of PR.
As a net radio operator, I can't tell you how many times in the past there were stupid headlines like this, and then months later I was meeting people and they were telling me "oh, I thought I read on Wired (or where-ever) that the problem was resolved!". I mean, thanks for the article, but please step up and graduate from journalism school! |

Yup, if you even shake hands with someone from SoundExchange, make sure to check that your hand is intact and no fingers are missing.

Thanks so much! I didn't mean to bust on you or Karl, it was really meant for the Wired guy editor. I see some other webcasters already leaving comments like that on their page too. |

You can settle for a repeat of 2002 only if you want to. There's no reason to make this an ongoing cycle. Now is the ideal time to mention that to your representative and senators. If they know that half measures are only going to make this a recurring headache for them, they're more likely to demand a permanent solution.
