Internet-Only webcasters and broadcasters that simulcast online will alert their listeners that "silence" is what Internet radio may be reduced to after July 15th, the day on with 17 months' worth of retroactive royalty payments - at new, exceedingly high rates - are due to the SoundExchange colleection organization, following a recent Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) decision. "In this case, 'silence' is an extremely appropriate metaphor, since silence may be what listeners hear from most webcasters starting on July 16th", says Kurt Hanson, publisher of RAIN: Radio and Internet Newsletter (www.kurthanson. com), one of the event's organizers. Hanson is also the founder of AccuRadio. Major webcasters like Yahoo! Launch, Rhapsody, and Pandora.com will silence their streams along with other Day of Silence participants like WCH Radio and The Wave, Live365, TV Online, Radio Paradise and others. "The arbitrary and drastic rate increases set by the Copyright Royalty Board on March 2nd threaten the very livelihood of thousands of webcasters and their millions of listeners throughtout the country," said Jake Ward, a spokesperson for the SaveNetRadio Coalition. "The campaign to save Internet radio - a genuine grassroots movement comprised of hundreds of thousands of webcasters, artists and independent labels, and Net radio listeners - has quickly brought this issue to the national forefront and the halls of Congress, but there is still more to be done before the approaching deadline of July 15th. On Tuesday, thousands of webcasters will call on their millions of listeners to join the fight to save Internet radio and contact their Congressional representatives to ask for their support of the Internet Radio Equality Act." Many webcasters including WCH Radio and The Wave are planning to shut off access to their streams as well as our podcasts, while other webcasters plan to replace their music streams with long periods of silence (or static or ocean sounds or similar) interspersed with occasional brief public service announcements on the subject. This "Day of Silence" is an encore of a successful media event initiated by RAIN and organized by small webcasters on May 1st, 202 in response to a similar royalty rate ruling from a Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP) five years ago. That event garnered national attention and was subsequently followed by a rate cut by the Librarian of Congress and the passage of the Small Webcaster Settlement Act for the period 1998 - 2005. We hope that we can count on your support, and for more information please log on to: http://www.savenetradio.org/ We especially want to thank all of you who have supported our stations and Internet radio. Note From Kevin: I told you about this, and told you that it was the intention of some in our government to silence free speech via talk radio. Some of you thought I was kidding, or just paranoid. Now, with people like Senator Trent Lott (and others) talking about how "talk radio is running the country" and "We have to deal with that problem", some of you are finally waking up to the reality that there are enemies of the Constitution who have been elected to Congress. Any senator, representative, president, or other official who is an enemy of freedom of speech is, in fact, an enemy of the Constitution. If you think I am off track here (along with other talk radio hosts), just wait. When you finally realize freedom of speech has been shut down in America, you will not be allowed to tell anyone. America will have finally become Amerika. We may be just days away from it. By the way, have you noticed how well your senators are listening to you with regard to their "immigration reform" bill? Many of them do NOT care what you think about it. Trent Lott has made it clear that if you think calling his office will even influence his vote, you are mistaken. These people have complete and utter contempt for our representative form of democracy. You, the owners of the country, do not matter to them. _________________________________________________________________ ========================================================= Get your own copy of "Gods in the Garden".

White was told by Senior staff that the object he recovered was extraterrestrial. The lab recanted their position later, also claiming to have seen another object "similar" to his. The Los Alamos official analysis, published for the first time in White's book UFO Hard Evidence (Galde Press 2005) reveal inept or intentionally misleading scientific results which had a negative impact upon a private citizen. Mr. White has passed polygraph examinations given by law enforcement professionals concerning the Los Alamos matter. In 2000, White became aware of a declassified U.S. Army document from the 1940's titled "UFOs in Denmark." In it are multiple images of an object nearly identical to the one White recovered some 40 years later. _________________________________________________________________ ========================================================= Get your Kevin Smith Show coffee mug, T-Shirt, and more! http://cafepress.com/steeleye2 ========================================================= _________________________________________________________________ Opinion Poll Results The recent upsurge in reports of werewolf sightings are 1 real sightings 17.0 % 2 hoaxed sightings 4.2 % 3 overly active imaginations 41.4 % 4 too baffling for me to have an opinion 37.2 % Vote in our new Opinion Poll! http://kevinsmithshow.com/poll.php _________________________________________________________________ Free Download CallingID Toolbar is a toolbar for Internet Explorer and Firefox, that automatically displays owner information of the website you are currently visiting.
