Default Internet Radio Dies Today

June 25th, 2007

Today is the day when most of Internet’s radio station go silent. If you’re an avid net radio listener like me, you already noticed, because your station either died mid-program or got interrupted by a message saying, basically, the RIAA is killing us.

Instead of a flat fee, Internet radios (even non-commercial ones, which is most of them) will have to pay a price per performance per listener, at a rate that will, simply put, force many of them to close down. Now the hour when this will start being enforced - July 15 - is drawing near, and the broadcasters are trying to draw attention to the fact that they simply cannot pay these new rates.

This also means the death of music discovery services such as Pandora? I really love tuning to Pandora, It really made me to be in love with music. This is a desperate move by the music media moguls thinking they can regain control.

What?????? This is a wrong move for the authorities to charge such a scheme to radio stations. Considering that listeners won't really delve deeper in listening to them. Tsk tsk, is this for good?

Hi Ronald! I just thought of giving you one URL which might help you support the radio industry. Here is the link.

Should the above link won't simply work because of your browser, please click on this link.
