As an avid listener of Internet radio in various forms, I’m proud to be a resident of Oregon, where two of our congressmen, Ron Wyden and Earl Blumenauer cosponsored a bill to preserve Internet radio.
Today, the courts denied an emergency stay requested on behalf of Internet radio broadcasters and their millions of listeners, and this media is in danger of practically becoming extinct, open only to those that can afford the outrageous royalty charges.
I just took less than five minutes to call all three of my congressmen about this issue, and the entire process was painless, with no hold time at any of their offices.
The staff was appreciative of my support an expression of my position.
Please read the short story at Boing Boing, and take action today, because by July 15th it may be too late. you can also go directly to Save Internet radio and enter your ZIP code, instantly getting contact information as well as short talking points for your phone calls.
