For all you folks who listen to Internet radio... enjoy it while you can.

Royalties are now too expensive for about 98% of the current online radio stations to stay in business. Expect your favorites to start disappearing one-by-one... starting very soon.

If you look at the legal records, XM and Sirius are the main culprits, but MTV, Musak and others have joined (and of course, pressure from the RIAA).

Here are a few links:

Not sure what can be done about it, but if I find anything, I'll post it here....

I'm definitely cancelling my XM subscription tomorrow.
