Radio: July 2007 Archives
Webcasters and internet radio listeners are breathing a sigh of relief today after it was announced that SoundExchange executive director John Simson had agreed to allow small and non-commercial internet radio operators to continue streaming past the July 15 deadline imposed by the Copyright Royalty Board.
The CRB had decided to foist new royalty fees on webcasters that would have likely put most of them out of business despite objections by legions of listeners, artists (who would not likely ever be heard by many people) and a handful of members of Congress.
Webcasters got a 60-day postponement of the implementation of the CRB decision while parties attempt to come up with a compromise.

Thanks to Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA).
I don't know what I would do without my RadioParadise.
