RIAA's latest weapon: PERFORM Act.

Post by shon »

The RIAA's latest weapon against Internet Broadcasters is the PERFORM Act. If this bill passes into law, a lot of internet radio stations would have to sign off. This is very important. PLEASE help spread the word, visit http://www.stoptheperformact.com/ for more information.

If this is the wrong place for this, please move it to the right palce, or modify it as you see fit.. I would appreciate it.

Perform act re-introduced

Post by Deltamusic »

The bill was re-introduced on Jan 11, 2007 and is now in committe

Dianne Feinstein\\\\\\\'s \\\\\\\"Platform Equality and Remedies for Rights Holders in Music (PERFORM) Act\\\\\\\" would permanently hobble your ability to record off the radio and force webcasters to use DRM formats. PERFORM would also mess with streaming Internet radio stations. Right now, MP3 or open format Internet radio can take advantage of statutory copyright licensing to remunerate rights holders and artists. After PERFORM, all streaming music that uses statutory licensing will be required to be in a DRM-encumbered format that forbids interoperability or user-editing. Wave goodbye to MP3 streaming and to moving recorded webcasts to the portable player of your choice.

I wonder if they would force non-copyrighted material to be broadcast in mp3 format...or would mp3 simply disappear
