Internet Radio Stations React To New Royalty Scheme → The DMCA is flawed!

Some of the people making posts here are missing the point big time. WE DO PAY ROYALTIES. We already pay and have cut those checks for years while terrestrial radio doesn't. Now the RIAA has requested and been granted an increase amounting to licensing fees that exceed 100% of our revenues. For some, it's more like 1000%. How the hell can you adapt from that? There's not going to be a sudden increase in advertising dollars to cover this disparity not to mention they are retroactive from last year. Sure there's an option to not play RIAA music and boycott but about the retroactive fees from 2006. We're still talking most companies will owe over $150,000 from 2006 alone. Also to compete with other forms of media (i.e. Satellite and Terrestrial Radio) we're going to have to play some RIAA music and I'm happy to pay them for that use just not at these rates. Not all of the music released by the major 5 is crap and that music deserves to be heard as well. The DMCA is flawed and Congress needs to be educated on why it's flawed and why it needs to be updated to reflect current technologies. The RIAA pulled one over on Congress in the middle 90s with the DMCA and now it's time we educated them on why it's outdated and needs to be changed. Only then will we all be able to enjoy Internet Radio, Podcasting, Ipods, etc with freedom.
