PETITION (follow link below)

http://www3.capwiz.com/saveinternetradio/issues/alert/?alertid=9631541

Please contact your local US representative and tell him you love internet radio.

New Royality Fees, and rules from the RIAA could force NS Radio to be a thing of the pass, Newschoolers cannot afford a lawsuit, keep this good thing strong, so you can continue listening to the only freeskiing radio show on the internet.

These rules will also harm your other favourite sites such as Pandora.com, Last.fm and more, keep internet radio alive!

Stand Up for Freedom of Speech!

i should have read this crap before i did it...



I respectfully request that Congress look into this matter and take action
to prevent it.  Please understand that time is of the essence since the
new royalty rates are retroactive to *January 1, 2006* so they will cause
immediate bankruptcies if they become effective for even one day.  Please
don't let the music die.


now im probably gonna get hate mail from Senunu... THANKS

In my lifetime I hope to see the end of the RIAA and MPAA monoliths that stagnae and criminalize the bounty and beauty of contemporary culture.

+ lame. the form includes Canadian addresses but then doesn't accept them. FYI Canada has similar legislation coming down the pipe. Here's some words, feel free to sample them:

==

As a musician, internet radio makes my art possible. The RIAA only represents a small, elite majority of commercial record labels. It does not represent the artists. Its interests are not those of the public; it acts only in favour of its own narrow interests. Its actions are detrimental to the existence and creativity of all music and the sonic arts. Sharing and broadcasting are the pillars of all recorded music and the distribution of music should not be in the hands of the elite and rich few but in the power of the many as the means to free expression and the continued creativity of  culture across the globe.

In my lifetime I hope to see the end of the RIAA and MPAA monoliths that stagnae and criminalize the bounty and beauty of contemporary culture.
