Call to Action: Web Radio Will Go Silent Without Your Help!

On Wednesday afternoon, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals denied all Webcasters' motions for stay of the 2006-2010 royalty rates and terms.

This means that with only a few days remaining before the July 15 deadline, we really need to turn the heat up in Congress. Otherwise, starting Monday morning you will see a rapid decline of streaming music services as Webcasters large and small go silent one by one.

Are you a loyal fan of Internet radio? If so, then we really need your assistance! Please telephone your Representative and Senators urging them to co-sponsor the Internet Radio Equality Act today. Even if they've already pledged their support for H.R. 2060 or S. 1353, pressure them to call for an immediate floor vote of this bill.

Please understand, this is not the time to be complacent. Every single voice counts. However, we can only be heard if we speak up loud and clear to the people that matter. Our lawmakers must understand the importance that Internet radio plays in the lives of the American people -- and in particular, their constituents.
