Save Internet Radio23 Signatures
Description:Right now, thanks to Internet radio, you have access to tens of thousands of free music streams. These Internet streams let you listen to radio stations all over the world, and hear a wider variety of music than you ever thought possible.
But all that could come to an end.
Your freedom is being threatened right now. Most of these Internet radio stations could go off the air soon, and they're not likely to ever return. Great services like Live365 could go off the air forever.
The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on July 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). The Internet Radio Equality Act is currently being considered by both the House and the Senate. This bill will set royalty rates for Internet radio equal to the royalty rate paid by satellite radio, and has gained over 120 cosponsors in the House.
Internet radio needs your help to survive. We need you to pressure your representatives in Congress to take action. Please take a moment to call your Congressional representatives in the House and Senate to ask them to co-sponsor the Internet Radio Equality Act. Making your voice heard will go a long way to helping preserve the Internet radio industry. Time is running short, so please call your representatives today.
