Target: Online Music

I don't remember the last time I listened to music on the radio, and I'm talking way before I came to Germany. Maybe you're lucky enough to live in a town with reliable college stations (Boston Radio Rocks!). More likely, you've either given up on music radio, or you're hopelessly addicted to the Clear Channel playlist.
I listen to net radio practically every day, but those days may be numbered. A new royalty payment scheme that takes effect July 15 could put net radio out of business. Happily, there's legislation pending that would (fairly) cap these payments, and you can exercise your micro-mandate as well as your fingers by clicking here. I've been generally skeptical (nigh sardonic) regarding web-based initiatives, but my new hero, FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, presents a good case for, um, actually doing something.
