Why charge the smaller stations who play what people want to hear, instead of regular stations who play crap? Let us enjoy the music we like.Jun 7th, 2016Someone from Wilmington, NC signed.

Thanks to the DMCA many small-time stations -- on-air and Internet-only -- were already paying an increased fee and then in 2007 they doubled the per-song performance royalty on TOP of that. Internet-only radio now pays TWICE the royalties paid by satellite stations PLUS the increased fee demanded by the DMCA. Now this. This is payola pure and simple. Clear Channel strikes again, shutting down some of the oldest and most popular streaming services along with audio streams from community and noncommercial stations that simply can't afford these exorbitant triple fees. Don't try to kid us that it's for the artists. They don't see a dime of this money. It is all going to the lawyers who own the corporations who own the record companies.REPORT COMMENTS

The webcast I now listen to was originally on the traditional radio airwaves. I thought they were gone completely but then I discovered they had moved to webcasting. The hard work and dedication of the people that have kept this now webcast station should not be priced out of business. I enjoy this program so much. Please don't allow these royalty prices to be priced out of their reach so I can't listen to the program anymore.REPORT COMMENTS

I do not listen to Pandora or iHeart. I listen to smaller, independent internet stations. It seems this bill is biased against them. I oppose rate increases that cripple independent internet broadcasters and discourage competition.REPORT COMMENTS

I listen exclusively to internet radio that is not affiliated with an over-the-air station. It is a very small operation. Save Internet Radio!REPORT COMMENTS
