I think it's wrong for only the big wigs get to play their music as they wish and the little internet stations are left out of the picture. A lot of people love to listen to songs that the FM stations don't playREPORT COMMENTS

Keep music going, rates are unfair. Let the little stations stay. Why do radio stations have to give in to BIG stations. People should have the right to listen to what they want...REPORT COMMENTS

The diverse programming created by our nation's webcasters is an important platform for media diversity, community voices and music discovery which benefits artists immensely. Making it impossible for small webcasters to gain foothold not only harms them, it harms the music industry and removes choice from listeners. Entrepreneurial, innovative webcasters are changing media for the better - we should support them and offer them a fair deal, not remove them from the internet with complicated rate structures that make it impossible for them to provide these much needed services.REPORT COMMENTS

Leave the little internet radio stations alone...They make no money doing a hobby that they love, they put a lot of their own time in and don't get a paycheck as the big radio stations doREPORT COMMENTS

The people should be able to listen to the program of the smaller stations too. The people who work for these stations need these jobs to survive. Don't pull the permits from these smaller stations.REPORT COMMENTS

I am asking that you reverse your decision, on the outrageous fees incurred by the copyright royalty board. This is NOT the foundation on which America was built . Ousting the smaller guy, and lining the pockets of the bigger guy needs to stop.. and stop here. How easy it is to forget, at one time each of you had to start somewhere...and what would you be doing now had someone squelched your beginning ? where would you be now...doing what..? Remember from where you came... how you got there...Please add the prevision in this decision so thousands of small webcasters can afford to stay on the air..REPORT COMMENTS

If you charge this ..its only far you CHARGE EVERYONE that plays any kind of music that some one hears anywhere. If my stereo is too loud and my neighbor hears it. I SHOULD BE CHARGED THEN.. This is the way I understand this STUPID ruling. Why hurt the little guy that tries to help people that don't get out . SMALL radio stations is there to talk to friends as well on the web. Whats this Country coming too. FREEDOM OF SPEECH is stake here... Thank You Don Mull Sr.REPORT COMMENTS

The elimination of the small webcaster settlement act is a clear message that there lopsided decisions being made in favor of ONLY the rich ! This criminal decision needs to be reconsidered ! Monopoly's in the USA are supposed to be illegal so how can you push thousands of business into the gutter and feel good about it ? This is Tragic !REPORT COMMENTS
