They said that if passed 50% would go to the record companies, 45% to the
performers and 5% would go to the musicians and singers. Still a raw deal
for the performers like Stubblefield, and Bootsy that made James Brown's
groove.

Not that I listen to radio anymore, but puh-LEEZE!

It's not enough that stations have to pay licencing fees up the wa- and out the 
-zoo? I understands thet thuh Guv'mint's a-needin' its rev-nooh an' all, but 
there's an easier way to get it.

Tax Big Pharma and the Insurance Cartels... leave radio be. Digital music's 
already taking a massive bite out of it as is.

[scifinoir2] The "No performance tax" movement?

2010-02-12 Thread Mr. Worf
I saw a commercial for this during the evening news tonight. They have been
talking about this for a long time. Basically charging a flat fee for
royalties per radio station. This would hurt or kill off small radio
stations. The bigger stations can afford it.

There is a growing movement to stop tax from happening. What do you think
about this?

Here is the no performance tax website:
