Bei mehr als durchschnittlich 5 internet hörern 
gleichzeitig müßte SOMA FM $500 US täglich an die RIAA zahlen.

"Killed by the RIAA. June 20, 2002. 
With CARP royalties of $500 a DAY, SomaFM cannot continue broadcasting. 
Yes, you read right. $15,000 a month, $180,000 a year (well, based on
last month extrapolated over the next 12 months, we would have to pay
$176,541 in RIAA royalties). 

Don't listen to the RIAA press release that says most small webcasters
will only pay the minimum $500 a year. Any station with more than an
average of 5 concurrent listeners will be paying more than that minimum. 

You can still help change the laws that have forced us off the air.
Visit Save Internet Radio for more information on how to write your
representatives. If the laws are changed, SomaFM can return to the
air!!!"

"The U.S. Copyright Office and the Librarian of Congress have officially
announced their decision on the ever-controversial royalty rates for
webcasting music online. 

The official fee's come in at a rate of .07 cents per song which is
streamed live online and a lower rate of .02 cents per stream for
simulcasted and / or archived broadcasts. There is also an additional
fee to keep copies of the music on the web server of 8.8 percent of the
entire royalty fee, which is tacked on top of the total cost of the
royalty rates."

Bin ja neugierig, wann sie uns in AT belangen werden. 
Bei der derzeitigen politischen Lage übernehmen Sie ja jeden blödsinn
aus den US.
Die Providerkosten für den Traffic sind noch um einige Größenordnungen
höher als 
die Urheberrechte.
