Wow, I hope listeners won't have to start paying fees to listen to online radio. I'm an internet radio junkie.
If nothing changes, the internet radio stations will probably just go out of business. Caput. No more. The fees would be per listener per song, which is nearly impossible to charge someone for per month. The email from Pandora said the fees are four times as much as satellite radio stations pay. No one will pay that much for a radio station.
Yeh, I didn't realise how much the royalty increase would be 'til reading that email just now. That's terrible. Really hope Internet Radio is saved!
