Yes We Can - Obama... Ask not what our country can do; We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal; I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed; and now, yes we can...
FEATURE VIDEO! A few months ago we ran into an amazing young woman who's voice will tug at your heart strings. Click on the link to watch Jennifer Logue's "The Woman In Me" video! Launch "Woman In Me" VideoChanging the face of free radio!
There have been some very bold moves to stop free radio over the years, and this is probably the boldest that we've seen to date.
The Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) successfully lobbied the US Government for strict and costly fees based on the simulcast performance of music.
What can you do?
Stop Greed Before You Lose Free Radio. A bill named the “Performance Rights Act” was introduced in Congress on December 18, 2007 that would impose a significant fee on Radio Broadcasters for the use of ANY music at all.
The Bill, H.R. 4789, would require all radio broadcasters to pay a fee that would somehow be divided among all musical artists regardless of musical genre.
The proposed fee is backed by the recording industry, which will divide a full 50% of the billions of dollars generated annually. Artists will reportedly receive 45% of the take, and backup artists will split 5%. Among the questions this poses:
How will an artist receive a fair share when pooled together with tens of thousands of other artists?
How will ANY artist be properly represented and register to receive a “fair” share?
If this is a “Performance Right”, how did a starting flat fee of $5,000 come about?
Write Your Representatives. You can Keep Radio Free by asking them to vote NO on this unfair legislation.
What does this mean for Echoingwalls Music Radio? We did stop broadcasting for a short time while we figured out what we are going to about the possible pending legal change, then it hit us that all of this is still pending an outcome and nothing has changed.
Echoingwalls Music Radio will continue to broadcast and show love to all of the local artists out there who fight everyday to make our lives better through music. In the meanwhile, you can still fight the Performance Right Act BEFORE it becomes law!
