<font face="Courier New" size="2">Save Internet Radio CALL YOUR
SENATORS AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE NOW TO ASK THEM TO CO-SPONSOR THE
INTERNET RADIO EQUALITY ACT, S. 1353 IN THE SENATE AND H.R. 2060 IN THE
HOUSE,</font></p>
<p><font face="Courier New" size="2">The future of Internet radio is in
immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically
increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on July 15
(retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). If the increased rates remain unchanged,
the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date.
Internet radio needs your help! The Internet Radio Equality Act has
recently been introduced in both the House and Senate to save the
Internet radio industry. Please call your senators and your
representative to ask them to co-sponsor the Internet Radio Equality
Act.</font></p>

save Internet radio by co-sponsoring H.R. 2060, the Internet Radio
Equality Act. </font></p>

Copyright Royalty Board’s decision to increase royalty rates for
webcasters is going to turn off my Internet radio and I do NOT want
that to happen. Please tell Congressman/woman ________ to co-sponsor

<p> <font face="Courier New" size="2">3) I believe
that artists should be fairly compensated for the music they make, but
putting my webcasters out of business will only hurt artists more. They
depend on Internet radio to get their music out to fans and build new
audiences. When the webcasters go off the air, so do artists. Please
co-sponsor H.R. 2060, the Internet Radio Equality Act.
