This is copied and pasted from my buddy's board; he runs Orbital Grooves Radio. I sent out emails to each Nelson, Martinez and Bilirakis. It took me all of 5 minutes to do so. If you lack teh time or drive to write your own message use the given letter but add your name to the bottom.

Thanks in advance!

Friends,

There is a piece of legislation being pushed by the RIAA and the Copyright Royalty Board that could effectively shut down most if not ALL Internet Radio Stations. In lieu of a long read, I will post articles to that legislation here:

I ask all of you to write your local congressman and Senator urging them not to support this piece of legislation. Below is a copy of my submittal to my local representative.

Use these links to contact the following people:

Feel free to use my message as a Template. This is a serious matter that we are asking your help on. Thank you

Hello Mr. Weldon,

Please support the abolishment of the proposed royalty rates published this week by the RIAA and SoundExchange (an affiliate of the RIAA) that will effectively shut down most (if not all) web radio stations currently in operation today.

The proposal that is in question is Docket No. 2005-1 CRB DTRA

Please support the people and their desire for a diverse selection of Internet Radio Entertainment. The RIAA has already dramatically impacted the music industry in a negative way.

This piece of legislature will cripple the blossoming Internet Radio Community. These are global operations that are uniting people together under a common love for art and entertainment. It would be a terrible to see these respectful networks dissolve in lieu of a few more dollars to the RIAA and its partners.

Thank you for standing behind us on this issue.

Done.

You know, it all comes down to money.

I said years ago for people to buy zero cd's.

I bitched online about DRM and Vista...

Sure, some dents have been made but younger folks still plunk down enough of their money to fund the RIAA.

Hope this one isn't too late.

Nobody wants to take personal responsibility.

People just keep plunking their money down, feeding the bulldog that bites them in the ass, then they blame the result on their favorite right wing boogerman.

Just for the record (ahem), the RIAA is a composite of media moguls that don't support Republicans.

Why do you think the push is coming now. It is coming because the Democrats have regained control of the House and Senate.

No wonder the RIAA is getting away with it.
 
I've read the RIAA is really cracking down on "mixtapes".. going so far as confiscating studios and jailing dj's.. even those who've licensed the songs that appear on the mix CD's sponsored by individual labels who afterwards did NOT help the dj's who were only promoting their artists.

booooooooo!

As long as you don't SELL them wtf are they going to do? Should they jail every 14 year old who slams some Matchbox 20 and some third Eye Blind together on a "mixtape" for the girl he jerks off to and sobs about?

Fuckin cockers!!!
