NAB: Still Stumping For Web Royalties Bill
July 25, 2007
Nearly a week went by without me writing about the Internet radio royalty controversy and I started to get the shakes. Thanks to the National Association of Broadcasters, the dry spell is over.
In a Wednesday afternoon press release, the trade group renewed its "unequivocal support" for legislation sponsored by Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash., that would overturn a Copyright Royalty Board ruling from earlier this year. The legislation has garnered 140 co-sponsors since its introduction.
NAB's backing of the Inslee bill followed a June 6 offer made on behalf of its member radio stations to digital royalty collector SoundExchange. NAB has yet to receive a response from the group, officials said.
