It's exactly what it says. They want to raise royalty rates and put an end to web streaming. I received a notice from LIVE 365 about it.

What BS. Screw them. I'd still stream no matter what.

Given that nearly all of the radio conglomorates are now web streaming their broadcasts, they could end up being the only ones who can afford to do internet radio thanks to the greed of record companies and their artists.

So much for liberating radio from the chains of corporate blandness.

there's also opposition legislation to this that will completely reform the CRB & it's CARP. the beautiful thing about washington is you CAN still make a difference if you care, and work as a team. educate & participate... the ball really is in our court.

i'm no hypocrite either, with a legal team (350+ people if needed) & lobbiests there right now. they already felt our bite once, and we're going to give them reason to never return here again. this time means war baby! and i aint playin.
