RIAA Says Webcasting Royalties Are Too Low
Karl writes "The RIAA announced today their intention to appeal the royalty rates for internet radio decided on by the Librarian of Congress. Today was the very last day to file for an appeal." The webcasters put out of business by the royalties include SomaFM, Monkeyradio, KPIG, and many others. At least a few Congressional representatives support revising CARP to give small webcasters a chance to survive.
it will not happen, so dont even try... remember 95% of the population are well trained sheep. 10-13 yeard old girls will go into convulsions and foam at the mouth if they dont get a new in-stink or backstreer girls cd. Teen boys freak if they cant get their hands on the latest system of a down CD or anything else that their parents hate.
The american public has ZERO self control and ZERO ability to do anything out of the ordinary... as well as having ZERO care about anyone else other than themselves.
so your boycott will be looked upon as pretty darn dumb by most everyone.... It's not you, it's the rest of the population.
It's the same effect that made me modify my rear wind washer squirter to squirt directly at the windshield of a tailgating car... I unload water on their windshield and they back off... works great... Maybe if we stand at the cd sales counters with squirt guns...
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
