NOOOO!!
theyre gonna let the broadcaster pay around 0.0011$ per broadcast per user
so if one song reaches 500 users they have to pay 0.0011*1*500=0.55$
if they do the same with 2 songs: 0.0011*2*500=1.1$
and seeing that most internet radios rteceive alot more listeners then 500 this would mean the end for internet radio :'(

i think this rly sux, the small bands will become even less known
he big companies only care about the moneys (since they have no soul or so :s)

Money makes the world go around.

Tough decisions are facing the people who run those sites. That sucks. Hopefully, something can get worked out.

Then get back at them by using Limewire and torrents...

it won't be the end, but they'll have to pick up more ads to cover cost. I just hope they'll do it creatively as to not take up so much time between songs like FM radio.
