I finally listened to your entire testimony and found your arguments simple to understand and compelling. Well-done. It has been a number of months since you gave your testimony. What has happened with this bill?
This is a perfect … This is a perfect follow up to “Impact of Royalty Increases on Internet Radio (3)” Music artists are small businesses and that’s what has been one of the many points for the internet radio equality act. Internet radio cuts out the record label middlemen. There is no need for them anymore!
VERY GOOD JOEY!!!!! … VERY GOOD JOEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! I’m glad this was video taped for others to see behind the curtain. You did an amazing job !
This is EXACTLY why … This is EXACTLY why this ruling must be overturned. So many artists would never get heard or even nloticed without the internet. Terestrial radio stations will not be able to webcast their own feeds either.
Fink has swallowed … Fink has swallowed the SoundExchange hook totally. She is unable to see from both perspectives, it’s only me, me, me. What she doesn’t realize though, is that she’s committing business suicide by siding with an organization that’s out to kill Internet Radio on behalf of the major labels. She seemed to be just reading SoundExchange’s press releases sprinkled with her own words.
Mr. Allcorn spoke … Mr. Allcorn spoke the truth! He understands that if Internet Broadcasters go away, his income and music future will dry up. Too bad for Fink who does see far enough in to the future to see the end of the road.
Good statement. I’m … Good statement. I’m glad that he, as an artist, realizes the obvious drawbacks to increased royalties. They will kill the stations that play his music, which means he and his label will sell less records, and not receive any royalties. Live concert attendance will be minimal and any possibility of touring would be eliminated. Increasing royalties will simply duplicate FM radio on the Internet. The rich get richer…
