| _____________________________________ [May 1,2007 12:25pm - xanonymousx ""] this is stupid... it seems any major advancement in technology always gets shut down after it gets big and going. |
| _____________________________________ [May 1,2007 12:25pm - xanonymousx ""] is this the same for the podcast? |
| ___________________________________ [May 1,2007 12:36pm - ariavette ""] so that's just some big shot somewhere who said.. wow... look at how much money we can make... fuckers.. that sucks |

| ______________________________________ [May 1,2007 12:45pm - the_reverend ""] I read the bill and it's $.33 per hour per listener or 7.5% of the revenue generated by the digital transmittion. say you had 1000 listeners per week for a 3 hr show and it's retroactive for 70 weeks, that's $69,300 and $990 per show. |
| _________________________________________ [May 1,2007 12:51pm - DreamingInExile ""] this is HORSESHIT! I usually tune in from time to time, and if I don't tune in, I nab the podcast. xanonymousx has a valid question, would this effect the podcast? |
| _____________________________________ [May 1,2007 1:02pm - the_reverend ""] idk |
| ____________________________________ [May 1,2007 1:11pm - xanonymousx ""] after reading the article it seems that this is to get money out of companies like AOL and such because they are not paying the musicians to be on the internet radio..... but it will affect everyone involved in the community. |
| _____________________________________ [May 1,2007 1:16pm - shatteredliz ""] I can't understand why terrestrial radio only has to pay royalities for composition but Internet radio has to pay an additional performance fee. Does it make sense to anyone?? |
| __________________________________ [May 1,2007 1:37pm - fishcakes ""] LAME! |

| __________________________________ [May 2,2007 3:25pm - ariavette ""] yeah .. running out of material.. to the point where the episodes have become more and more crude yet strangely not funny.. |
| _________________________________________ [May 2,2007 5:57pm - Dwellingsickness ""] Do they really think that people will stop d/l music off p2p sites, or from each other?. |
| ______________________________ [May 2,2007 8:18pm - Troll ""] RIAA= shit pushers Keep us posted on this topic Rev! |
| ______________________________ [May 2,2007 8:57pm - Troll ""] Its fucked how a lot of these so called "Indie Labels" will sell their souls to get a few benefits by signing there lives over to a corporate tyrant like the RIAA. Well, heres to the dawn of the Clear Channel era! :duffbeer: Uhhh No. Seriously though, the HC/Metal scene will always evolve to quickly for the corporates to catch on, so this is just a small hurdle. Its just way to resourceful of a scene and its mainly dominated by folks who are not predominately motivated by money so there will always be other alternative medias. Well, I'm literally sick and tired right now so to an early grave I go.....Though I'll probably have some 1984'ish dreams about this RIAA bullshit Rev! I'm sure you'll find some other way to keep yourself on the autonomous side of things. Rev vs. The Music Industry Round 1 Fight! |
