Lazlo's Corner
As many of you know I have been working through the bureaucratic red tape to try to get the provision for small internet broadcasters put back into the Copyright Royalty Board's decision that was handed down the end of last year. That decision is what caused Live365 to go under, and hence BlowUpRadio.com's internet station component.
Well, there is some good news and bad news.
The bad news, as I found out from extensive conversations with someone in Senator Cory Booker's office (who has been very helpful, by the way), is that when the Copyright Royalty Board held its open hearings last year, no one testified on behalf of small broadcasters. Live365 said they weren't invited, which I have found out is true...but misleading. The hearings are open to anyone testifying. No one is invited, you had to just contact and say you wished to testify. Apparently Live365, and other small broadcaster services, failed to testify, and no one that did testify mentioned the provision for small broadcasters, so the Copyright Royalty Board could not include the provision as part of their decision.
Lesson learned, apparently I have to keep track of Copyright Royalty Board hearings, and have to trek down to DC to testify to ensure that someone brings up the importance of the provision for small broadcasters. Sadly, I am not the most well versed in this, I am just a hobbyist broadcaster, but I've been thrust in to being more active in this aspect since my station went off the air several months ago.
Of course the Copyright Royalty Board will not meet again to discuss the rates for nearly five years.
This leaves the only option to get that provision back in the near future would be for Congress to pass a bill reinstating the provision.
The good news is, I am in talks with someone who works for a congressperson who is in a subcommittee position that could start such a bill. I will keep you updated as talks continue.
The road is long, and the partisanship of Congress, makes this path seem especially challenging, but it is important to me to keep this fight going, not just for me (or thousands of other small broadcasters), but even more so for the indie musicians who I played on my station that have lost one of the few places they had to be heard.
