Yahoo Turns Off The Radio

A day of silence has swept across the internet radio broadcast stations as a number of music webcasting services protest to the new royalty rates that could put them out of business for good.

Quote:

A statment from Yahoo:

The situation webcasters are in is simple: the new royalty rates are higher than the revenues anyone can hope to make from related advertising. In other words, we all lose money on Internet radio starting July 15th. Yahoo! has no intention of operating LAUNCHcast radio as a loss-leader. This senseless rate hike needs to be changed, or our business will have to.

Do you podcast or use internet radio? What do you think is needed to be changed, and regulated as a fair alternative?
