***Day of Silence*** for Internet Radio

Overall, cyberspace radio is truly SO amazing and has been such a revolution since the dawn of the internet especially for the minority of people throughout the world who appreciate the art of film music and who are now able to listen to various film music genres through the abundance of radio stations available by just a mouse clique away.

I hope this does not change...

"Warning: Recent royalty increases have made Soundtracks an endangered genre. You can prevent this. Call and ask your Senators to cosponsor S.1353, the Internet Radio Equality Act today!"

The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. 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!). To protest these rates and encourage the millions of net radio listeners to take action and contact their Congressional representatives, a national Day of Silence will be held June 26. Webcasters across the country will observe this day of silence in a number of ways, including dedicating entire programs to the campaign to save Internet Radio and broadcasting complete silence. For an updated list of the participants in this national day of silence, visit http://www.kurthanson.com/dos/. Webcasters who would like to participate in the day of silence, place contact the SaveNetRadio coalition at dayofsilence@savenetradio.org. Net radio listeners, please excuse the interruption of your normal programming and take action to ensure this silence is not permanent. Call your Congressional Representatives today.
