SteamingWill Internet Radio Survive the Royalty Sting?Authored by Scott Goldberg on March 8, 2007 - 9:04pm.
Things seem backward in Audio Entertainment (AE) World. XM-Sirius (or Xirius, as Doc Searls called it in his blog) looks like it might fall apart because of…what? FCC pride? That’s one explanation. They created a rule at satellite’s outset saying one entity couldn't own both licenses. But the landscape has changed so much since then that it’s preposterous to believe a merged entity represents a real anti-competitive threat. Now internet radio stations, per the infinite wisdom of the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB), will face a royalty fee per stream (yes, each stream), making business, as many of them know it, potentially impossible.
