| The Day of Silence is designed to do two things: 1) gain media attention for the plight of webcasters and 2) get listeners who have not contacted their congress persons to do so before it is too late. I figure that if you're not interested enough to contact your congress person then it really isn't all that important whether the Internet becomes music-less to you. |

| The Internet Radio Equality Act (H.R. 2060) is before congress, but it still has a ways to go. With the press and Internet blogging that’s been going on, we may well have a shot at sensible performance fees and a grand future in cyber and WiFi space.

| When’s the last time you read the story of the Golden Goose? Or if you’ve never heard the original, now’s your opportunity.
The Copyright Royalty Board is an arm of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), constituted by member performers. The CRB, through an associated company, SoundExchange, keeps track of webcasting and collects royalties to be distributed to performers and background singers (who do not receive royalties from traditional licensing companies such as BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC).
Without going into the details of the claims made by the several sides of this debate (and subsequent laws that come from it), suffice it to say that as of March 2, 2007 it appears as if MOST webcasts will disappear from the Internet.

| Following the n-teenth e-mail asking for Internet sites offering a wide selection of Beach Music downloads, we decided it’s time to give you a “state of the union” report on where things stand and why they stand the way they do.
Firstly, to answer all those e-mails simultaneously, there are no such Internet sites. There are sites that offer a limited number of Beach Music selections. Those are generally limited to a few Band sites in which they offer their own tunes (that they own or license).
