No Internet Radio for the Day

A silent internet world is set for June 26.

Because the music industry is demanding higher royalty fees, Internet radio operators are having a “quiet-in” where they will have a full day of playing nothing. To date, Live365 and AccuRadio.com are just two of the broadcaster that will be signing on to be a part of this protest.

Those against the new fees are looking beyond the protest to put a stop to them. They are hoping that a federal appeals court will overturn the royalty rise.

There are some internet radio junkies that are supporting the broadcasters, but even those seem to be concerned about going a full day without the ease of radio online.
