National Day of Silence for Webcasters June 26, 2007
Today a nation wide protest of new webcasting rates is being observed. Webcasters are turning off their streams for a day of silence. Some are boycotting music registered with the RIAA.
From the WFMU - Beware of the Blog
“Instead of webcasting silence today, WFMU has decided to boycott all music that is registered with the RIAA and/or SoundExchange. Today, you will hear songs from live performances on WFMU, material from the public domain, orphaned works, music from bands and record labels that have signed a waiver releasing WFMU from SoundExchange’s unreasonable royalty scheme, and music from artists that SoundExchange has neglected to pay.”
