"The issue is that the new rates completely ignore the business and market realities of Internet Radio. In a nutshell they expect many webcasters, such as at Digitally Imported, to pay far greater money for licensing than we ever even collect from all of our services, effectively driving webcasters out of business."
HELL NO TO THAT
DI.fm might disappear? I can't even imagine such a possibility

It kills me to see what those people are doing...

This is crazy!!!! I used to love the Chillout/Trance shows on Di!!!! Hope nothing drives it to close !

^ You're not listening anymore to di.fm?
The shows between 2002 and 2004 were magic now there are a lot of new ones and some are tech-trance driven... no comment about it

LOOK @ these numbers!!! no idea!!

ouf!

"$0.0008 X 10,000 listeners X 16 songs/hr. = $128. It'll cost our imaginary webcaster $128 to play one hour of music for 10,000 people.
At the end of the day, that's $3,072 ($128 X 24 hrs./day) -- for just a single day! After a week goes by, it's $21,504 ($3,072 X 7 days/wk.). And for all of 2006, this webcaster with a steady average audience of 10,000 listeners would owe $1,121,280!! (the $3,072 X 365 days/yr.)

That takes care of 2006. For 2007, the rate increases 37.5%! So, with no audience growth, the cost of streaming music for the year would increase to $1,541,760.

And the royalty rate goes up another 28% in 2008, and another 28% in 2009, topping out at a $.0019 per performance rate in 2010 (resulting in a royalty obligation of $2,663,040 for that same audience averaging 10,000 listeners) for that year. I wish my boss gave me raises at those rates!"

^%$@#%^$@%^#$%@^@$@%&*$@ now politics won't let ppl listen to their music on their favorite online radios... &^$@#%$
