All those Internet streams you’ve listened to while wondering what the hell a burden of production is? They’re in danger of getting eliminated by excessive royalties imposed by the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB). That’s right, you might not be able to listen to Internet radio next semester!
Fortunately there’s legislation in Congress right now that will overturn the CRB’s ruling and keep rates reasonable, so that we can continue to listen to Internet streams while we ponder the finer points of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. More details about the new royalty schedule the CRB wants to impose is available on FreePress.
Go here and take action to save Internet Radio. It literally takes 30 seconds since FreePress will do all the hard work for you: figuring out who your representatives are, generating a form letter (that you can modify if you like), and dispatching the email to the representatives.
You know you want to. Consider it 30 second investment in your sanity next semester.
