A Commonsense Proposal On Net Radio Rates

quark235 tips us to an open letter to the RIAA, proposing a fairer royalty structure for Net radio, written by Paul A. Gathard. Gathard is president of Barnabus Road Media, a company that provides streaming radio services to commercial and non-commercial stations across the US. He contends that his proposed rate structure, if implemented, would actually result in higher total revenues to SoundExchange than their current proposal would, after it kills off 90% of Net radio stations.

"Joe stated his case logically and passionately, but his perceived effeminate voice only drew big gales of stupid laughter."

I, for one, am against fucking the RIAA. Considering how many other people they themselves have fucked, it's more than probable that they've caught more than a few nasty somethings along the way...
