Internet Radio Day Of Silence
Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on July 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). If the increased rates remain unchanged, the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date. Internet radio needs your help! The Internet Radio Equality Act has recently been introduced in both the House and Senate to save the Internet radio industry. Please call your senators and your representative to ask them to co-sponsor the Internet Radio Equality Act.

Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling ...

Wonder what this means? Royalty rates charged by who?

I was wondering that too. In the case of WebmasterRadio I think they're doing it just for solidarity. They don't broadcast music, so I doubt they have to pay a dime.
