H.R. 5469
A new bill was introduced in the US House of Representatives that would
allow for a six month stay on the DSRP royalty rates. This is HUGE, in that
it permits an opportunity for Congress or the courts to remedy the unfair royalty.
But we must act quickly. I know you're tired of hearing about this stuff. But
this is a HUGE break, and we need to blow this one out on the order of the CARP
effort last spring! Please call or send the note below to your U.S. Representatives
before September 30, 2002. Ask them to support H.R. 5469.
1) Call your Member of Congress by dialing (202) 225-3121 and ask to be connected
to the office of your Representative.
2) If you don't know who your Representative is, go to the following website
and input your state and zip code:

Phone calls are more useful at this hour, so use this link to find out who
to ask for, then call (202) 225-3121.
3) When connected to your Representative's office, ask to speak with the
legislative assistant who handles Internet issues. Tell that person that you
are calling to ask the Representative to support HR 5469, which will be voted
on TUESDAY by the House of Representatives. Tell the assistant that you are
an Internet radio broadcaster and listener, and that HR 5469 will help the Internet
radio industry, which will be bankrupted and silenced by an unfair royalty that
is under appeal in the courts. It is only fair that the royalty payment date
be delayed until the court decides the final royalty, and that is all this bill
will do.
4) Once you've called, you can also follow up with an email. Use this link
to send your Representatives an email before September 30:
