Greetings, all! I spend a good bit of most of my days working away on computer, and often I like to listen to music while I am working. When I'm stitching I REALLY like to listen to music! Streaming music on the Internet has been wonderful - I can find music to suit my mood, and often I hear muscians that are emerging as artists that don't get air time on regular mainstream radio. But recently, in a knee jerk reaction, the Copyright Royalty Board has proposed to increase royalty rates from 300 to 1200 percent!As an author and as a musician, I certainly support the protections offered under copyright law, and believe in the paying of reasonable royalties for the use of copyrighted works. But what has been proposed in not reasonable.
