Internet Radio Equality Act

Representatives Jay Inslee (D-WA) and Donald Manzullo (R-IL) introduced a bill today called “The Internet Radio Equality Act,” to reverse the Copyright Royalty Board’s controversial ruling which sought to increase royalties to eight cents per song per listener retroactively from 2006 to 2010 for internet radio stations. Copyright Royalty Board’s ruling would render many independent internet radio stations economically inviable.

The SaveNetRadio campaign asks that you take a moment to call your Congressperson to ask them to co-sponsor this legislation. As an internet radio listener, I would love it if you do that too.
