Copyright Royalty Issue

LISTENERS PLEASE NOTE:
In light of the recent Copyright Royalty issues... 

As of June 1, 2007, Old Christian Radio (OCR) has LIMITED its airplay ONLY to artists, musicians, labels who have granted airplay permission to OCR to play their music. Doing this is the only way around this mess. 

I don't see the sense in paying those wicked heathens at Sound Exchange (another extension of RIAA or "big record") a pile to money for the right to broadcast "major label" music which makes up only 10% of OCR's play schedule anyway. [Major Label as in: 16 Singing Men, Don Marsh, Melody Four, Hale and Wilder, Tom Fettke, London Philharmonic Choir And Orchestra, Brentwood Music, and etc.] 

It was a lot better for me to quit "air playing" the 10%, cancel my Sound Exchange License, and license directly with the "small guys" who are doing for the Lord instead of the money.

OCR's music store will continue to sell the aforementioned items in its online music store, even though they will NOT be played on the air anymore.

However, Old Christian Radio will continue to pay the "songwriter fees" that are owed to BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC through Live365.

They still haven't done anything yet to stop the "retroactive" royalty rate. This provision is what will "kill off" the smaller webcasters.

Please call your Congressional Representatives today and have them support the Internet Radio Equality Act of 2007.
