Reverb: The Official UTF Blog

If you are a fan of Pandora and/or other Internet radio stations, then you may be aware that the music industry is trying to raise the fees for the songs played on these stations. The proposed fee hike will probably shut down and silence many if not all Internet radio stations. This is yet another attempt by the industry to crap all over the fans. They don’t seem to understand that services like Pandora bring new music to fans that possibly result in CD or digital download sales. But of course, the industry doesn’t grasp that concept.

Fortunately, there is a grassroots movement to save Internet radio. If you regularly use and listen to Internet radio, then please support the cause by calling or writing your congress representative. I don’t know about you, but I’m sick and tired of the music industry’s greedy paws trying to dip deeper and deeper into the honey jar. I realize and understand that artists have to make a living, but organizations like the RIAA and others are turning off many fans, leading some to pirate music sites/services. However, we do have a voice. Let’s use it to help save Internet radio and win this battle in the war.
