Here is a growing list of webcasters who, because they don't feel they can manage webcasting royalties in a viable business, have decided that it's in their best interests to silence their streams. (We thank them for their hard work and dedication to their audiences and the industry, and wish them luck in their future endeavors...)
Thanks to RAIN for providing this list.

Maybe if the Internet Radio Fairness Act is approved.

I don't know, Cocles. It has to be before October 20, 2002.
If anyone hasn't expressed their support of this yet, then please FAX congress, NOW! Before Internet Radio is wiped out!

Hail noble music providers. wWe salute you. I will send the faxes to my reps and pray for there is not a whole lot more that I as an individual can do. I fear the worst but I refuse to loose hope. Keep the faith my brothers and sisters.

Here's an update from RAIN:
Eight additional U.S. representatives have added their names as cosponsors of the Internet Radio Fairness Act (IRFA) since last week, when representatives of the webcasting community canvassed Capitol Hill in the bill's support. The names of all 35 legislators who've signed onto the bill are listed in a table below.
The lawmakers who this week added their names are: Reps. Maurice D. Hinchey (D-NY), Martin Olav Sabo (D-MN), David E. Price (D-NC), Virgil H. Goode, Jr. (R-VA), Susan A. Davis (D-CA), Deborah Pryce (R-OH), Robert A. Underwood (D-Guam delegate), and Doc Hastings (R-WA).
The IRFA, introduced by Congressmen Jay Inslee (D-WA, pictured right), George Nethercutt (R-WA), and Rick Boucher (D-VA) in July (see RAIN coverage here), aims to help keep the smaller commercial webcasters alive by exempting them from the Librarian of Congress's royalties determination and opening access to the arbitration processes that help determine rates.
The bill includes benefits for all parties involved -- including broadcasters, large webcasters, and even labels -- in that it would revise the CARP standard for future CARPs from "willing buyer/willing seller," which has proved problematic for all parties, to a more traditional standard that involves fair market value.
At its introduction, the IRFA had 13 cosponsors (in addition to Inslee) in the House of Representatives. Calling the trip a success, President of IO Media Partners and Radioio founder Mike Roe told RAIN yesterday that among the goals of the webcasters who visited Washington last week was to increase support for the bill.
The bill is still a significant way from becoming law however. It is still in committee, there is not yet a companion bill in the Senate, and skeptics doubt the chances of a bill being passed so late in the legislative year by a Congress dealing with terrorism, corporate malfeasance, and the possibility of war with Iraq.

I try not to blame the artists. I really think they are being brainwashed and bullied by their labels and of course the RIAA. The well-known artsits are either oblivious or greedy and the lesser-known are giving their songs away for free because they recognize the promotional value. I guess when an artist reaches a level they don't need to be promoted becomes the breaking point. Even if it means spending a nickel to save a penny or spending millions in anti-pircay campaigns to look like an ass in public.
