Today, June 26, many online radio stations will be holding a day of silence. This is to protest the Copyright Royalty Boards March 2nd decision to increase the rates for those independent stations that bring us all such great music. Please visit SaveNetRadio.org to learn how you can help prevent online radio from going silent forever.

    I think what happened here is that the people who charge the royalties asked for everything (including the kitchen sink) expecting to have to ‘bargain’ portions of their wants away and were surprised when they got everything!

    That’s the way budgeting in the US works. You ask for 20% more than you need so you can then “agree” to a 20% cut to your budget and still get what you want/need.
