Internet radio threatened
This is ridiculous. Basically the Copyright Royalty Board has accepted a new licensing fee structure set out by SoundExchange (read: the RIAA) and is now going to require online radio stations (or anyone who streams music) to pay new licensing fees that are in many cases greater then the profits the radio stations generate. Nice eh? Read this and this for more background, and then go sign the petition.

why would you pay for radio. its the radio you dont see people driving down the road listening to radio paying for it, unless it is satilite radio. all this is is big companies being greedy and wanting money.
