Live365 files Federal Lawsuit over constitutionality of U.S.Copyright Royalty Board: Article on FMQB site
I am proud to be one of thousands of Webcasters at Live365.com. I support Live365's brave stand, when it would have been simpler to keep paying millions of dollars to a questionable system that has never been properly audited. The suit does Not question the idea of Copyright (also known as Performance) Royalties, only the make up of the Board and the procedures followed in determining the amount of Royalties.
It will get interesting...
Love and Peace, Clarence Jones

Une autre playlist from your friend and mine, OlioRadio! (rather from me, Clarence, but it is on OlioRadio) The music just keeps getting more diverse than ever, with nearly 700 tracks in this playlist.

National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and Soundexchange agree on Copyright Royalties thru 2015 (link to post on RAIN)
This deal, if it is carried through to all commercial Internet Radio stations, will kill Internet Radio in the United States. Including the AM & FM stations that the NAB cut this deal "in behalf of". This may be the end.

Yep, on February 1st, OlioRadio will
mark seven years of webcasting. It seems like only yesterday that I
started streaming recordings over the Intertubes through
Live365.com...sigh...[Insert annoying memories of an Elder Geek Here]

To
celebrate, I, Clarence Jones (owner-operator and Chief bottle-washer of
OlioRadio), promise you a new era of transparency. I've put together a
4 hour (3 hours and 40 minutes for Live365 VIPs - no ads!) special
revealing some of MY personal favorite recordings. Finally, I'm giving
you a peek at some of my deep-down most-loved tracks, stuff I'd want on
a 'desert island' disc...er, along with a disc-player...and electricity
or a large supply of batteries.

I take the plastic wrap off this
special show at Midnight tonight (that's 12:00am Feb.1 US CST, 6:00am
GMT). But do not despair if you can not listen tonight! The show will
run at Midnight, 8am, and 4 pm US CST (6am, 2pm, and 10pm GMT)for the
next week (Feb. 1-7)! So grab a taste of what I really love to hear on OlioRadio this week! And Thank You to all of you who have contributed to my station and my life. Y'all are Too Cool!
Love and Peace, Clarence
