It's a pretty dire situation for most internet broadcasters come May 15th, folks. I'll have a more in depth posting later this week on the situation, what's at stake and what you can do to help.

Could new band ABC just say screw off and sell their music to Internet Radio that play music only from artists that have done the same? Probably not very likely, but I was curious if it was theoretically possible. Is the RIAA the only game in town for artists, or can they opt not to be a part of it.

They seem to think that by rigging the game in their favor, they'll magically turn back the clock 30 years and convince everyone to go back to buying $15 records and listening to FM radio. They're deluding themselves, of course, but until they stop blaming everything on the internet "bogeyman" they'll never truly come to grips with the fact that they need to completely overhaul their business model.

This really sucks, but it's comforting to know that you guys are aware of the danger and are working on a solution. This is potentially WOXY's "nightmare scenario"; worse than lack of sponsorship or funding ever could be, because it uproots the entire core of the station's model. Please keep us informed as you know more about this issue, and of course, let us know if there's any way that we the listeners can help. Thanks for the update Joe.
