Save Internet Radio

[Cali]

Internet radio is in danger
of becoming EXTINCT!

The U.S. Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) has just issued a decision on the royalty rates that webcasters have to pay to record labels for the period 2006-2010. (See Wired News coverage here.)

The rates are so high that they exceed 100% of most webcasters' total revenues! If the CRB's decision stands, the retroactive portion for 2006 alone will bankrupt virtually all independent webcasters, including ClubNetRadio.

Furthermore, the CRB's schedule of huge annual increases in the rate will probably drive most other Internet radio stations off the air as well.

ClubNetRadio needs your help!

Here's how you can help: You can sign an online petition; you can contact your representative in the U.S. Congress by phone, letter, or e-mail (that's in descending order of effectiveness); and you can make your voice heard in every local and national media outlet who can give this very serious ruling the attention--and bad publicty--it deserves.

Along with all other independent webcasters, ClubNetRadio may only be a few weeks away from being driven out of business.

Please help if you can!
