A Commonsense Proposal On Net Radio Rates

Posted by kdawson on from the knows-whereof-he-speaks dept.

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.

    Let's just all band together and fuck the RIAA instead. Much more fun and it'll be a better result for everybody.
