Special Online Panel - Webcasting's Future
Written Oct. 2, 2008 by Tom Webster in Internet Radio with 0 Comments
Many webcasters have said that the music royalty rates set by the Copyright Royalty Board are so high that they will be forced offline.
With that in mind, the Webcaster Settlement Act was introduced to allow webcasters to continue to negotiate new royalty agreements with copyright owners for the years 2006-2015. Written and submitted to the House and Senate for approval, it passed both at the end of September and now goes on to President Bush for ratification.
What do industry leaders and analysts have to say on the issue?
Join us on Monday, October 6th at NOON Eastern (9AM PST) for an interactive panel discussion where you'll hear perspectives on the issue from:
- Tim Westergren, Chief Strategy Officer and Founder of Pandora
- Kurt Hanson, CEO of AccuRadio
