It's funny how little they know of economics.  Raising the royalties will NOT generate more revenue.  It will generate less.

Right and wrong. You should read the article I posted earlier. The motivation behind killing Internet radio is because they compete with old fashion radio which is completely under RIAA control. Internet radio isn't, they're a competitor and this was their move to kill the competition (once again).

Lots of folks listen to radio stations on the internet, help those folks out by sending letters to your senator and congressman. :)

Even though this isn't even valid for a response here goes: Which radio gives you 200 000 specialized channels available 24/7 globally?

Ya know... I thought about signing the petition and then it occurred to me...

It would make more sense to simply let RIAA fail under its own bloated weight.


That... and I'm against government meddling in the entertainment industry.


So... I'm going to sit this one out, even though it means the death of Pandora.

They started charging retailers for playing broadcast radio in stores years ago.  


If the music is only loud enough for the employees.. the RIAA doesn't care, if the customers can hear it they demand to be paid.

On top of that they send shop owners nasty letters if a live band plays copyrighted, or, cover songs.

If the RIAA maintains it's monopoly.....just how will it fail under it's own bloated weight? Just wondering....

Send in the Danes.

http://www.dr.dk/musik/rock/

Have to click on your favourite genre from the table in the top right-hand corner of the page to listen. "Playlister" gives you the full menu.

D.R. Rock is my favourite - Classic Rock stuff, though they have been playing some distinctly wierd non-classic stuff recently, I think due to the Roskilde music festival - but that's a guess.
 
Pärty øn, Dansk düdes.

There's also my fave Canadian station:

Hold down control and click on "listen live". Not sure how any regulation changes would affect Canada, though I'd assume European bureaucrats are more than a match for those of the RIAA.

It is about money, the companies have more money than the regular voter and the main voting base doesn't even listen to internet radio.

It is ok, pirate radio will be the thing of the future...
