Raising Kane Over Raising Rates

Following the March 3rd announcement from the Copyright Right Royalty Board on new rates for streaming music on the web, SaveTheStreams.org has started a petition and a passionate discussion on the topic.

This could be especially expensive news on the heels of the most recent studies indicating Terrestrial radio keeps raising its share of Internet radio listening. From a recent Inside Radio: 37% of unique visitors to Internet radio in January were folks listening to a stream from terrestrial radio. J.P. Morgan analyst John Blackledge has been tracking radio's steady progress on that score and says it's due to "Increased investment" in the Internet.

I suggest we all join in the conversation.

Thanks to RadioBistro.com for pointing me to this site.
