Misnaming the judges

Somebody continually misidentifies the panel as not containing Steve Wozniak. It is strange this page is targeted for vandilism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.223.170 (talk) 22:46, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Previous structure?

Could anybody add information about the fee structure that was in place before the March decision? The article mentions a change *to* $500/yr minimum, but not what that change replaces. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.51.111.1 (talk) 20:02, 27 April 2007 (UTC).

Agreed, this article sucks nads without the original info.

According to CNET News: "Before the changes, most Internet radio companies paid about 0.076 cents per performance, according to an analysis by attorney David Oxenford at the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine, which is representing some of the smaller Webcasters that challenged the rules." ... "[Webcasters] contend that many smaller DJs simply don't take in enough revenue to come up with the new payments, which the advocacy group SaveNetRadio estimates at as much as 1,200 percent of their previous required payments (and up to 300 percent for larger operators)."

Retroactive.

Didn't I hear that it's retroactive. Meaning the stations will have to go back and pay more for what they already thought they had purchased at a lower price. --Gbleem 09:29, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Rate term needs defining

Unstated: per song per use, or some other measurement? -- Yellowdesk 14:09, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Meaningless statement

In the section labeled "Reaction from Internet Radio," there's a statement that reads: "Indeed, some broadcasters (e.g., Etherbeat[7]) have already started shutting down in anticipation of the royalty rate increase." What exactly does "started shutting down" mean? A station has shut down, or it hasn't, I think -- but I also don't want to jump to conclusions and say there isn't an in between. My interpretation of the statement as it is, however, is "Some broadcasters (e.g., Etherbeat) are threatening to shut down if the royalty rate increases." I also that how it is sounds like propoganda. -- Robert (non-user) 2007-07-18 22:45 PDT
