The Day Music Went Silent


For 24 hours today USA based internet radio stations will be silent as an act of defiant protest.

This isn't a minor list of radicals, major player like Yahoo Music are also participating.

It's kind of funny in that all it's going to do is drive servers offshore but on the other hand I want to draw attention to the cause as it's a very unfair playing field for internet broadcasters when compared to payments for FM and satellite providers which just screams 'big money lobbyists' are controlling what you can and cant do on the internet which is an issue I feel strongly about.


Cheers,
Dean
