What's Going On? On March 2, 2007, The Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) approved royalty rates that will bury any small webcaster, and create a heavy burden even for big broadcasters like Yahoo, AOL Music and Pandora. This also effects WRAJ Internet Radio and its network of internet radio stations. How high will these rates be? Around 100% of a small webcasters revenue, give or take a few points, in most cases. The ruling ignored webcasting community proposals and set out the SoundExchange proposed "per performance" rates (below) and a $500 minimum fee per channel per year.   Save Net Radio Presentation AZ Tech Talk will be replaced by a special presentation of Save Net Radio this Saturday at 7AM EST, hosted by Ray Gauthier of 80’s Meltdown.

Everyone, from listeners tuning into internet radio to the broadcasters themselves. Even the artists themselves will also suffer from marketing themselves with internet radio. What Can I Do?
