I have always dreamed of running a variety radio station and live365.com helped me reach that dream in November, 2007. Now to find out that I may have to pay up to a 300% increase in Royalties, has me thinking that the "Big Boy Broadcasting Companies" may have a lot to do with that. They own the airwaves and that's not enough! E-mail your representative and tell them enough is enough. If that bill passes, Star 99 Spring Hill will end up closing shop before it even begins.

Thrash Unlimited Radio was created to provide an avenue for international thrash metal artists. We locate bands in the most remote areas of the world and bring their music to the airwaves. Most of these bands have NEVER been heard outside of their native countries and most do not have any type of "recording contract." Implementing the CRB's royality rates would surely shut us down and these bands will not be heard. There is indeed something criminal here...

I been on the air for over a year. I think Live 365 is a wonderful thing because, you get a chance to create and produce information to the World on things like AiDS, Drugs and ect. Not just Music. Lets get to the point. If this is taking away where is the freedom in that? From Kplatinum. Thank You Kplatinum

I started my station to turn people on to music that is not heard on corporate radio. Over 90% of the music I play is by artists/musicians that are not on a large label or for that matter, any label at all. So soundexchange collects royalties from me that the musicians I love and want to help will never see. I would like to know what they do with the money that should be going to these musicians. I would have to guess most of it is being spent on lawyers, lobbyist and congress people.

Since 1996, Grateful Dread Public Radio has existed to do several things: disseminate information, news and viewpoints excluded from the mainstream media; promote progressive ideas and activism for the purpose of making a better, cleaner, fairer, more peaceful and compassionate world for all; and give exposure to independent artists generally ignored by the corporate media. The goal is not to make money. We are member-supported so that the station expenses are covered. That's it. The immoral efforts of corporate goons to shut down netradio and limit the choices available to listeners is exactly the reason why what GDPR does is so necessary. What we do is not a hobby. It is not a lark or a game. It is community service and it makes no sense to me, none at all, that the corporate creeps are so greedy and feel so threatened that they need to kill an industry that benefits the public. Sorry, not everyone wants to hear the mainstream line or listen only to Maroon 5. It is anti-American for the corporate suits to be so controlling and to do such harm to the general population.
