Buzz Out Loud Lounge: Does the Internet Radio decision affect non US netcasters?
Does the Internet Radio decision affect non US netcasters?
by Owyn - 4/16/07 4:37 PM"Internet radio dealt severe blow as Copyright Board rejects appeal

A panel of judges at the Copyright Royalty Board has denied a request from the NPR and a number of other webcasters to reconsider a March ruling that would force Internet radio services to pay crippling royalties. The panel's ruling reaffirmed the original CRB decision in every respect, with the exception of how the royalties will be calculated. Instead of charging a royalty for each time a song is heard by a listener online, Internet broadcasters will be able pay royalties based on average listening hours through the end of 2008."

The way I read this it only affects internet radio stations domiciled in the US. If so, could a domestic US station switch to an off shore netcaster without penalty?
I think you're right. One more reason to offshore :P

The special BOL on Internet Radio

"We're always ready to negotiate with broadcasters - this is much ado over nothing". Then the CRB rejects all appeals.
Tom and Veronica, are you going to hold those guests accountable (especially the one from the CRB) for the blatant lies they told?
I like artists. I hate the CRB. I hate the record labels. I hate liars.
