CRB decision will shut down Digitally Imported

fontkick writes: On March 2, 2007 the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB), which oversees sound recording royalties paid by Internet radio services, introduced substantially higher rates affecting every internet webcaster in the United States. Digitally Imported, a popular webcaster in operation for seven years, announced on May 1 that they would cease operations due to the new decision. The only way most internet radio broadcasters will stay alive is if Congress passes H.R. 2060, a bill introduced to protect internet broadcasting.
