Over at the LA Times, they're running an article about a recent proposal for webcasting royalties. Right now you're looking at $1.40 per thousand listeners for webcast-only stations and only $0.70 cents if you're a regular radio station that's also broadcasting online. The webcasters say that the price is too high while the RIAA is claiming that the price is too low. Quoting the article, "The rates should be closer to the deals negotiated between the RIAA and more than two dozen companies, RIAA attorney Steve Marks said, even though many of those companies are no longer Webcasting or even in business." All I can say is support your online radio stations.
