Internet Radio Broadcasters Call for Day of Silence on June 26: "Internet radio broadcasters have called for a Day of Silence to make a statement and raise awareness against the royalty rate increase that could put several Internet radio broadcasters out of business. The planned silence is to show what the stations will really sound like if the rate increase goes through. This is planned to take place next Tuesday"

(Via DIGG.)

There is a lengthy list of notable webcasters who have already committed to this. For our readers who are streaming at terrestrial radio stations--will you be joining them? Why or why not? Sound off in the comments please--I'd love to hear from broadcasters about this.

no body has ever been taken off the internet for digital copyright infringements.

its never ever happend, i think the best thing for the internet radio community to do is to not stop, not stop in the face of legal action. A United Front against 'The Man in the suit'.
