So OK. I know that internet radio is not techically filesharing as the listeners never get a file, but in the eyes of the RIAA and now the US House of Reps it is and this article has chilling effects in the wings.
http://64.4.14.250/cgi-bin/linkrd?_lang=EN&lah=78d5e3e1efb76566c1da8f71f11c49ea&lat=1028208418&hm___action=http%3a%2f%2feletters1%2eziffdavis%2ecom%2fcgi%2dbin10%2fflo%3fy%3deRTg0D QPe60HX60pDN0AC
The effects of this would be the same as the old internet taxation debate. If this goes through then there will be those that go under because they can't afford to change, those that leave the country so that they don't have to comply, and yes even a few who will comply with the new laws. We need to get on this one as fast as we can and try to stop this one. I don't know how to go about this but this is urgent
