CSR Radio goes silent May 8th in protest of new law

Well not silent, really. We'll be airing only Public Service Annoncements for SaveNetRadio.org and re-broadcasting a recent radio interview with John Beezer of Shared Media Licensing (Weedshare.com) all day Tuesday, May 8th.

None of the usual Indie Music will be played from Midnight tonight until Wednesday, May 9th in protest of the unfair and unequal law recently enacted which will put many Indie Webcasters silent or bankrupt!

Exactly one week later the new higher royalty charges were to go into effect retroactively to January 1, 2006! But Artists, Internet Radio Listeners, and Webcasters united to march on Capital Hill May 1st and succeeded in getting that date pushed back to July 15th, 2007.

Now we have very little time to push H.R. 2060, the Internet Radio Equality Act through the legal system just in time to save Indie Webcasters.

Please visit SaveNetRadio.org today for more information. If you would, please call and write your representative to co-sponsor this bill. SaveNetRadio.org site makes it easy for you to do so.

Thank you!

I know I know, this is a drag for us too believe me. We'll be back to our regular Indie Music programming at 9:PM PST today I promise!

Sorry, we absolutely had to pull the music for just one day to show solidarity for H.R. 2060, the Internet Radio Equality Act.

Thank you for your understanding - and be sure to tune today to hear John Beezer from Weedshare being interviewed 04/20/2007 by CJSR Radio as to the future superdistribution forecast.
