I got this (encouraging) reply from John Dingell:<BR/><BR/> Thank you for contacting me regarding the recent Copyright <BR/>Royalty Board decision regarding fees for Internet radio broadcasters. I <BR/>appreciate hearing from you.<BR/> <BR/> As you already know, the Copyright Royalty Board issued a <BR/>decision that raises the fees that broadcasters must pay. In some <BR/>instances, Internet radio sites will have to pay almost 1000 percent more <BR/>than in previous years. Obviously this ruling could force many of these <BR/>broadcasters out of business, and severely limit the growth of new <BR/>Internet broadcasting ventures.<BR/> <BR/> I am concerned about this decision because I believe strongly <BR/>that our media must have as many voices as possible and that there <BR/>should be tremendous competition between formats from television, to <BR/>radio, to the Internet. You should know that an appeal of this ruling has <BR/>been filed and that I will pay close attention to its resolution.Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884188052527454989noreply@blogger.com
