I WISH this was just a friggin B.S. hoax, but feel free to look this one up on your own. THIS IS REAL and this is really going to CLOSE DOWN MOST INTERNET RADIO STATIONS! all I ask is that you take a few minutes to read about what is happening and if you agree, PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE TO YOUR HOUSE REP AND BOTH SENATORS!
If you go to Radio Nigel there is a link to help you find and email your Rep and Senators. 5 minutes of your day can help save Internet Radio!
"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!). If the increased rates remain unchanged, the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date. Internet radio needs your help! The Internet Radio Equality Act has recently been introduced in both the House (H.R. 2060) and Senate (S. 1353) to save the Internet radio industry. Please call your senators and your representative to ask them to co-sponsor the Internet Radio Equality Act"
