The US Copyright Office has released their new set of rates for the payment of royalties by Internet Radio, and they ignored all of the facts presented by webcasters (including RP) and 
gave the record industry exactly what they asked for: <B>royalty rates so high that they will put RP and every other independent webcaster out of business</B>.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.radioparadise.com/">
For some time, we've suffered with a system where we pay a large chunk (10%-12%) of our income to the Big 5 record companies - while FM stations and radio conglomerates like Clear Channel
pay nothing. Now they want even more. In our case, <B>an amount equal to 125% of our income</B>. Our only hope is to create as much public awareness and outrage about this staggeringly unfair situation 
as possible. Neither the record industry nor Congress are ready to listen to us at this point. But members of the media may well be, and we need to get their attention.
