Bring Me Up will be demonstrating the "silence" that Internet radio may be reduced to permanently after July 15th, the day on which 17 months worth of retroactive royalty payments -- at new, exceedingly high rates, as set by the Copyright Royalty Board -- are due.

If these new royalties are implemented, we believe it will lead to the virtual shutdown of this country's Internet radio industry, AccuRadio included. (This new royalty rate -- which is 0% of revenues for broadcast radio stations and less than 7.5% of revevenes for satellite radio operators -- works out to over 150% of our revenues!)

If you're a U.S. resident, you can help save internet radio by contacting your representatives in Washington D.C. (your two Senators and one Congressman). Just click the button below between 9AM and 5PM ET, ask for the staffer who is working on this issue, and ask them to co-sponsor the "Internet Radio Equality Act."
