Sent an email to my congressman and informed my friends and family of this injustice... If enough of us take action, we will have an impact on these criminals. walkman.gif

Everyone seems to be placing the emphasis on free-market vs corporate monopoly. Don't you think there's an issue of controlling communications alternatives for political and security reasons too?

Of course there is. But if those topics get mentioned, there's a tendency for those who are voted in to think we're associated or in sympathy with those guys who like to blow things up. But yer damned right it has something to do with control of media for those purposes as well.

Please see my first message posted in this thread. I have added important links, online petitions and example text to use when writing or calling the congress and senate. You can forward these on to your friends, family and associates.

Thanks again for everyones support. We will be having some promos play on the broadcast soon that will get the message out.

The more people write and call the congress the better chance we have. This is really our only option. It is in the hands of congress at this point.


UPDATE

We will update this section as new links and resources become available. The following links are very important and you can help Internet Radio by visiting these links which include information, petitions and more:

http://www.savethestreams.org/

http://www.saveourinternetradio.com/

Save Internet Radio Petition #1

Save Internet Radio Petition #2


Email Congress

Follow up with a phone call: Look Up Phone Numbers

Example Text to use for Congress and Senate:

QUOTE

As your constituent and a fan of Internet radio, I was alarmed to learn that music royalty rates were recently determined by the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) which, if enacted, would certainly silence most or all of my favorite online listening services. For most webcasters, this royalty rate represents more than 100% of their total revenues!

The shuttering of the webcasting industry would be a loss for not only independent business owners, but also for musical artists, for copyright owners, and for listeners like me who enjoy the wide variety of choices available via Internet radio.

I respectfully request that your office look into this matter and initiate action to prevent it. As the CRB rate decision is retroactive to January 1, 2006, please understand that time is of the essence -- as the immediate impact of this decision could silence many Internet radio stations forever.

To Paul & all faithful members, & guests here. PLEASE take a few moments to click on the link, on first post. It will easily guide you to a direct link to your congressman. The only way to make anything happen,(AS IN NOT LOSING CELTIC RADIO), is if YOU send A STRONG message to your congressman, let them know, how outrageous this is. If you passively do nothing, most assurably, this legislation, if passed, will effectively kill THIS STATION ! So, please, go to link, read what's going on, then, it will guide you to your congressman.
Slainte,

Thank you everyone for your support and guidance during this time.

I have been reading that a follow up call to your congressman's office makes an even bigger impression, so I plan on doing that too.

Highlander Radio will start to play informational plugs on how to Save Internet Radio. We are going to have these played every 2 hours. I know they are distracting, but it is something we have to do.

I'd also like to thank StevenPD for leaving a message on the call-in line with some great information. As always, thank you Steven!

Sent an email to both Senators and my Rep. Followed up today with phone calls to all three offices. Will give it the rest of this week and then make a follow up call Monday. We HAVE to keep the pressure on!

Folks, if you love Highlander Radio, do your best! Call, write, email. Time is limited so we must do what we can now!

Thanks Paul and Steven for leading the charge.

Signed the petition, sent a copy of your first posting, along with some comments to my entire email address book. I will also post it on a couple of ren sites as they tend to be very vocal on issues where freedom of choice is inhibited. (especially the wenches). I live in a town where we have nothing but two corporate radio stations playing the same recycled top 40 garbage day after day. We can actually set our clocks to certain songs. Trust me they will drive you insane after the first couple days. We found the Sirius and XM do the same thing same songs just about every day except no commercials.

Please dear God in heaven do not let this pass. Otherwise I will have to leave the country.

Here's a tidbit I found over at Live365:

QUOTE
The CRB is an office of the Librarian of Congress, Dr. James H. Billington overseas the daily functions of the Library as well as offices under his. He phased out the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel system and replaced it with the Copyright Royalty Board made up of three copyright royalty judges as opposed to Arbitrators. The members of the new board are all former attorneys turned judges, James Sledge (D), Stanley Wisniewski (D), and William Roberts (D) are all appointed to their posts and effectively replaced the Arbitration system. This took place without voter referendum and with full support of the new Congress.


One more name to the list to contact.

Here's the contact form.

censored.gif Who says money can't buy government? What a total crock of hooey! Would the IRS agree to pay you 125% of your tax refund? I don't think so.

I know a Canadian voice won't help much as I could only legally sign the first petition, the rest excluded all non-US residents. I will forward the information to my friends in the US of A! Keep up the good fight!

Macfive,
I have used every means posted here as well as speaking directly with 2 of my Reps that are my neighbors!

I have been assured that this issue is being scrutinized closely by them and they will do what ever it takes to make it right.
