Have great news! This means we start pushing harder.
On Tuesday, April 24 a bill entitled "Internet Radio Equality Act" will be
introduced into the House of Representatives. It is expected to meet the
following royalty-setting criteria:
A) Nullify the Copyright Royalty Judges' ruling for new rates and terms.
B) Propose realistic rates and terms for all classes of Webcasters:
1) Per Performance - Approximately one-quarter of the current rate.
2) Percentage of Revenue (Option) - At 7.5% of service revenue.
C) Change the method for determining rates and terms going forward.
Simultaneous to this legislation will be a new Action Alert posted on the
SaveNetRadio homepage urging all broadcasters and listeners to call their
Representative to co-sponsor this new bill.
