According to Savenetradio.org, Wired News has reported that internet radio stations have gotten a temporary reprive on the collection of royalties . Some stations that offer personalized content, a la Pandora, were set to close down as of Sunday, July 15 before this injunction.
It remains to be seen what will happen in the long run, but it seems that our congressmen actually are listening. I still think stations with other revenue streams like Last.fm and WOXY (Lala) will survive, as will stations with terrestrial counterparts (KEXP and KCRW, WFUV), but I don't know about the others (Radio Paradise, Soma). I might have to call up my congressman this week.
