To my Congressional representatives, and to Congress as a whole,

As a fan of Internet radio, I was alarmed to learn that music royalty rates were recently determined by the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) which, if enacted, would certainly silence most or all of my favorite online listening services. For most webcasters, this royalty rate represents more than 100\% of their total revenues!

The shuttering of the webcasting industry would be a loss for not only independent business owners, but also for musical artists, for copyright owners, and for listeners like me who enjoy the wide variety of choices available via Internet radio.

I respectfully request that Congress look into this matter and initiate action to prevent it. As the CRB rate decision is retroactive to January 1, 2006, please understand that time is of the essence -- as the immediate impact of this decision could silence many free Internet radio stations forever.

    • Why does the RIAA not want people to hear the music from the band they sign? What is the reason? A new anti-DRM label should be created for bands to sign.

    • Please do not destroy what is a valid art form rather than a vehicle for adverts. Hrer in Dartmouth Devon UK where the founding fathers left from Radio Paradise has a huge following in the bars and coffee shops. Andy

    • I totally reject the imposition extreme performance royalty rates released by the Copyright Royalty Board on March 1 not only for its negative impact on independent, innovative commercial-free internet radio and the musical artists themselves, but also for its negative impact on society as a whole. An equitable solution for paying fair royalties is in the public's best interest.

    • These new rates are outrageous. Have some conscience, make terrestrial radio and internet radio pay the same.

    • Without internet radio I will go back to "not listening" to radio. I will miss out on new artists and new music discoveries. And I will miss Radio Paradise....
