Radio Paradise and others - soon to end?

This probably ought to be in the music room or even off-topic, but I wanted to get maximum exposure - I hope that's alright Mods?

Internet radio stations based in the USA are about to be clobbered by a new Bill concerning royalties. It is an unjust situation which, it is reported, favors large corporations (Apple, Spotify, Tidal(?) and others) with a rate which is equal if not lower to previously, but willcould price almost all independent net radio stations out of existence. Given what we know about royalty payments to artists through such corporations, I doubt this will benefit musicians much...

I know there is a lot of love for Radio Paradise among music lovers and audiogeeks like us, so if you can spare the time please visit the Change.org page here and sign a petition to get this re-examined.

More information can be found on the Radio Paradise homepage, including a link to this open letter to David Byrne (who ought to know better IMO).
