Internet radio in the USA in danger?


I received the below from http://pandora.com , one of the truly interesting
Internet radio projects. It indicates that Internet radio in the USA is in
real danger. Can anyone confirm this?

ja?

******************************

Hi, it's Tim from Pandora,

I'm writing today to ask for your help. The survival of Pandora and all of
Internet radio is in jeopardy because of a recent decision by the Copyright
Royalty Board in Washington, DC to almost triple the licensing fees for
Internet radio sites like Pandora. The new royalty rates are irrationally
high, more than four times what satellite radio pays and broadcast radio
doesn't pay these at all. Left unchanged, these new royalties will kill
every Internet radio site, including Pandora.

In response to these new and unfair fees, we have formed the SaveNetRadio
Coalition, a group that includes listeners, artists, labels and webcasters.
I hope that you will consider joining us.

Please sign our petition urging your Congressional representative to act to
save Internet radio:
