Net Radio Appeal On Royalties Rejected
Station writes "The Copyright Royalty Board has rejected a request to reconsider its March decision to impose an onerous royalty schedule on Internet radio broadcasters. '"None of the moving parties have [sic] made a sufficient showing of new evidence or clear error or manifest injustice that would warrant rehearing," wrote the CRB in its decision.' The recording industry and its royalty collection organization SoundExchange are jubilant over the ruling. '"Our artists and labels look forward to working with the Internet radio industry — large and small, commercial and noncommercial — so that together we can ensure it succeeds as a place where great music is available to music lovers of all genres," said SoundExchange head Simson in a statement. Noble words, but after today's ruling — which will take effect on May 15 unless the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit agrees to hear an appeal — there probably won't be much of an Internet radio industry left for SoundExchange to work with.'"
This country has turned into a piece of shit. Thanks, Republicans.

Cause that's totally why everything always sounds the same. Cause it's good... yeah... that's it.
Die, die. Oh god, please die. What a terrible song. 9 minutes of hell. I concede nothing good about that song and curse the life and offspring of its creator. Blech.

Oh please with your "to each his own" shit is shit no matter if you paint it pink. Short order, catchy tunes, empty lyrics. It's shit, and just because a majority of people like it doesn't make it any less shit. Uwe Boll seems to think so too in the movie world but he still cashes in.
