Internet Radio Organizes "Day of Silence"
Webcasters to Cry "Mayday! Mayday!" On May 1st
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 2002--Hundreds of Internet radio stations across \
America will be shutting off their music streams on Wednesday, May 1st, in a "Day of \
Silence" to highlight their concern over the upcoming U.S. Copyright Office ruling on \
royalty rates that may shut down or bankrupt the vast majority of the nascent \
Internet radio industry. 

Under the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the Librarian of \
Congress is required to set "sound recordings performance royalty" rates for Internet \
radio stations by May 21st -- and a Copyright Royalty Arbitration Panel (CARP) \
working for that office has recommended a rate of $.0014 per listener per song (or \
$.0007 for broadcast simulcasts).
