RIAA Going Out Of Bounds with Internet Royalties Posted: Sunday March, 11th, 2007 06:52 AM EST Journalist: DJ Killer (Click Name to Read Profile)
Orlando, FL , United States of America --
On March 2nd, the CRB bowed down to special corporate interests, and ruled that internet radio stations (such as Killer Rock Radio) would have to pay the RIAA over 125% of our revenue, retroactively to January 2006.
Killer Rock Radio has been running in the red since its launch in June 2003, and we continue to do it because we love providing you, the listener, the music that we air.
Now, the RIAA Threatened to shut us down, along with every other non-major broadcaster on the internet.
Thanks to all the Internet Radio listeners however, this may soon change. More than 50% of "Letters to Leaders" on congress.org are now focused on Internet Radio, and preventing the CRB's decision from going through.
While this is a great start, it will not tame the beast. Continue to write, call, and take action to ensure that Internet Radio stays on the air.
With your continued support and contact with congress, changes will be made.

We cannot thank you enough for the support that you all have show thusfar, now lets continue it so that we can win the war against the RIAA's greed!
