Rates Set For Royalties On Internet The government on Thursday decided that songs delivered online by Internet music broadcasters will be charged royalty fees at a rate that amounts to 70 cents per song for every 1,000 listeners, the Copyright Office announced on its Web site. John Jeffrey, vice president of Live365 Inc., the largest Internet radio network, said "[W]e think that this is a rate that still means the majority of independent webcasters will cease to operate." Call you people and fix this before it getts out of hand, broadcasters do not pay this same royalty only the new tech kids do. Thanks dad for the heads up!!!
