Great sites like Pandora could lose their ability to broadcast due to a recent decision by the Copyright Royalty Board in Washington, DC, which almost triples the licensing fees for Internet radio sites. Honestly, it doesn’t look good right now. So let’s hope enough folks will let their voice be heard. Visit Save Net Radio.

Doug, thanks for raising a flag on this issue. Since you posted this, there has been a reprieve of sorts. While H.R. 2060 is still under consideration in congress, the new fee schedule won’t go into effect until July 15th. But our upstanding reps in the House of Representatives need to know how everyone feels about this. Write, call, email, show up at their offices and tell them that this bill needs to pass. Otherwise, Chakra Chip Cookies and thousands of other internet radio stations will go dark, end of story.
