If this legislation passes then small independent internet radio stations will be unable to pay the fees and therefor immediately go off the air.

I can say for a fact that 80% of the new music I have bought in the last 12 months has been because I heard it on an internet radio station. For more information and some great music check out http://somafm.com/crb/ They have helpful information on how to contact your local Congressman and tell him/her that you do not support this act.
