I guess the question is, how do you bypass such legislation ?
From a small label's perspective, internet radio actually helps
people find out about music, not really take anything away from
them. The RIAA is just a bunch of whiny bastards trying to pull
a two fisted money grab for the major labels who have lost
INSANE amounts of money on bad business descisions: case
in point the whole Mariah Carey debacle. An 80 million dollar
contract and when things didn't pan out, it was like 26 milion to
pay her off and go away.

Subject: [idm] redlight robot hotel playlist 3.30.02 / Fuck the R.I.A.A, SaveInternet Radio
Thanks for listening. Unfortunately, due to ridiculous shit
perpetrated by the R.I.A.A., today's broadcast will be the last of my
show to be streamed on the internet.
I'm a little surprised this hasn't come up on the list yet, but very
recently new legislation was passed that will effectively KILL internet
radio. No, I'm not exagerating. The Copyright Arbitration Royalty
Panel that was created after the Digital Millenium Copyright Act
recently decided that for non-commercial radio stations doing webcasts,
a $.02 royalty per song per listener needs to be paid. Additionally,
these royalties need to be paid retroactively all the way back to
1998. Do the math. Internet Radio will die.
Anyway, I'm pretty pissed about it and you should be too. I mean...
I'm not even going to go into all the implications of this. Its just
too ridiculous. If you give half a shit, go to
www.saveinternetradio.org. They even have a nice concise "90 second"
explanation of all the things that have led up to this. Go get
informed and do something. Write your congressman.
So without further ado, here is this weeks playlist. The last to be
broadcast over the internet.
