<<New law could save internet radio
Congress looks to overturn crushing royalty ruling
Published Monday 30th April 2007 09:47 GMT
A law has been proposed in the US Congress that would overturn a recent
ruling on internet radio royalty payments. The bill could save internet
radio, according to activists.
Earlier this month the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB), which reports to
the Library of Congress, increased the charges which internet radio
stations will have to pay in order to broadcast music. Stations claim
that the charges in many cases represent more than their total revenues,
and that they make it impossible to build a business out of online
radio.
