pay a royalty fee of 14/100 of a cent per song, perlistener, retroactively through October 1998. Webcasters are up in arms

CARP is pushing for a rule on Feb. 20 that under the DMCA, radio stations must pay a fraction of a cent per song, per listener, for every song they stream. Under the CARP ruling, Internet-only radio stations would pay a royalty fee of 14/100 of a cent per song, perlistener, retroactively through October 1998. Webcasters are up in arms -- while they are not opposed to the principle of royalty fees, they say the rate structure is far out of balance to the economics of these tiny,often one-person operations.
