Independent Music Owners in Favor of Internet Radio
In May 2002, Internet radio came under fire by the major record
labels and the RIAA, to assign hefty fees to those who want to
"broadcast" music on the internet, and if applied, these fees could
put an end to internet radio, or at least to the small and
independent broadcasters who constitute the lifeblood of this new
medium and who are the best hope for listeners to be exposed to
independent music not controlled by the large entertainment
corporations.

This is a list of artists and small record labels who own the rights
to some independent music, who have signed up to be counted. This
list is to indicate that there are many music owners who view
internet radio as desirable, and that they would like to enter into
discussions with internet radio to allow their music to be played,
and to circumvent the CARP fee . This is not an agreement or
release-- it is just a list of interested parties.
We also have collected addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses
for this list, but they are not displayed here to protect the privacy
of those who sign up.
