Call to Action: Online Radio 'Day of Silence' Makes Comeback

On Tuesday, June 26 thousands of Internet radio stations around the nation will go silent to protest the Copyright Royalty Board Decision of March 2, 2007.

We urge all small Webcasters to participate in this important campaign by suspending your regular music programming and instead airing the following public service announcements in combination with occasional periods of silence.

Also, be sure to update your Websites to reflect the day's activities, including a prominent hyperlink to the SaveNetRadio homepage so that listeners are encouraged to contact their Representatives and Senators.

Small Webcaster Community Initiative will be redesigning its MySpace profile in recognition of the Day of Silence. We intend to showcase the outstanding diversity in music programming offered by small Webcasters across services like Live365, LoudCity, and SWCast Network -- all of which will be forced to shutdown if these royalty rates and terms are not overturned prior to Monday, July 16.

Thank you for your continued support.
