Net radio in trouble?

[Mal]

I normally listen to radio via the net.
It seems there is legislation in the States that will increase royalty fees effective in july (and retroactive to last year) that will put many net radio stations out of business.

I am all for paying royalty fees, and I always make sure videos I put out have all the permissions & releases. In fact, I cringe whenever I see vids posted online (even here, btw) that use copyrighted material; but this increase in royalties seems a tad radical...

Any thoughts?

i wish we lived in a perfect society that didn't revolve around money ..........THEN MAYBE I'D HAVE MY HV20 BY NOW! It does kind of annoy me how the fed. government has so many restrictions on basically everything (they even want to control the internet), we're a long ways from what our founding fathers envisioned.
