Save Internet Radio

Web PR - This summer Congress is seeking to pass legislation that would - for the first time - require AM/FM broadcasters to start paying performance royalties. Unfortunately, the bill under consideration, the Performance Rights Act, still does NOT address the fundamental lack of rate parity between terrestrial, cable, satellite, and Internet radio.

Live365.com (Americana Rhythm's radio host site) and other internet based radio stations and brodcasters are asking for your help to make sure that Congress hears us loud and clear: small webcasters are an indispensable partner to artists and indie labels. Why should they pay 6 TIMES what satellite and cable pay? Intenet radio deserves a fair royalty rate. Support IREA and rate parity! The future of webcast radio could rest on this decision. Please go to www.SaveNetRadio.org and make a call to your Representative. NOW is the time to get this fixed!
