Copyright Office Accepting Digital Music Comments

Posted by timothy on from the but-webcasters-are-crunchy dept.

program21 writes "The Copyright Office has just announced it will be accepting comments about rules for governing SoundExchange. SoundExchange is the RIAA division responsible for collecting royalties for webcasts. This is your chance to make sure the RIAA doesn't get to walk all over webcasters!" You've got until May 21st to be heard.

  1. Fox and the Henhouse by D.A.+Zollinger · · Score: 1, Funny

    The Copyright Office is setting up rules on how the RIAA can collect royalties from Web Casters? Isn't that like the Fox setting up rules on how many chickens it can take per night from the henhouse? Anyone else sense a conflict of interest?
