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 etc

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

+ Just in general be aware of the lines beig drawn.

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.
