Free Speech Under Attack (Urgent!!!).

The Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP) in the USA is
recommending new laws which would charge webcasters ridiculous fees (2X
as much as terrestial broadcasters). If this comes into law, most
individual, small market & non-commercial stations would be unable to
afford to webcast. Web Radio would essentially, be dead. Basically,
this is another step in the ploy to control the entire media by the
biggest broadcast corporations.

Personally, it would probably mean the end of Radio LavaLamp & thousands
of other stations streamed by Live 365.com.

Please take a moment to sign the petition to challenge the proposed law.

If you think I'm just a ranting loony (or, despite my being a ranting
loony), check out these other websites for confirmation of the above.
