got this info from my local station. i've heard it broadcasted on lots of others too.
what do you all think about this?
Radio Royalties Bill - Urgent
Have you heard about this? A bill has been introduced in Congress that would keep WQUT from playing the music you love! It's true! You see, most of the record labels are now owned by foreign companies and they're demanding that Congress pass new laws requiring radio stations to pay them millions of dollars a year or… quit playing music! We think they're looking for a big bail out at radio's expense... Music stations like WQUT would have to turn to talk, news or sports to try to make a living. You would have to find another way to hear your favorite music without having to pay for it yourself. This is just not right.
Since the very beginning… American record companies and artists have encouraged radio to play their songs. That relationship has been a big factor in the careers of hundreds of artists.
Radio Royalties Bill Number 848 has been introduced. Please, help us stop this bill by calling or emailing your Congressional representative and advising them to oppose the Radio Royalties Bill. Keep the music going!
