Web Radio will probably be silenced in court today

Instead of competing, firmly installed media simply legislate new ideas out of existence: ...royalty arrangements currentyly require Web-only music sites to pay record companies 14 cents per song, per listener. For broadcast radio stations who happen to stream their music over a Web site, the rates are half as much.

Not so fast Billy Ray...

Looks like Internet radio will continue to pump out its warbly, treble-heavy broadcasts.

hey, I don't like CARP anymore than anyone else, but the rate is clearly not 14 cents/song. It is .14 cents/song. See
