In support of its request for the detailed information, RIAA argues that the information it seeks from the Services is ``easily provided, [] not burdensome, and in fact, is currently provided by a number of licensees who have obtained licenses through negotiations with the RIAA and/or Sound Exchange.'' RIAA Petition at 10-11. RIAA further justifies the need for the additional reporting requirements on the basis of differences in statutory requirements for the different licenses and on the basis of the different business models used within the different categories of Services. RIAA petition at 9. Other interested parties, however, may find the requirements too stringent and burdensome in spite of RIAA's assertions. Such parties should identify any problems they perceive with the proposed regulations and explain with specificity the reasons why the regulations are unworkable or unduly burdensome, or exceed the needs of the copyright owners.
So...all you interested parties, identify those problems and explain with specificity! This doesn't sound like a set-in-stone deal. Yet.

Have at 'em. Please, please, PLEASE don't just bitch about this here on Slashdot. Me, I don't run a streaming server. I don't know the technical ins and outs of what it takes. I do, however, watch and listen to the DNA Lounge's webcasts with regularity. A lot of the posts here sound like they're written by people with more than half a clue, and if their knowledge can keep the Bastards from shutting this and other broadcasts down, eleven printed copies of nearly exactly what was written here sent to the above address will be very powerful pieces of paper, indeed.
