Good news. Thx for the link. The whole clip:

The Librarian of Congress has rejected proposed royalty rates that would have charged Internet music broadcasters for each song they deliver online, the US Copyright Office said Tuesday. Librarian James H. Billington, who oversees the Copyright Office, offered no explanation for rejecting the rates, but said he would issue a final decision by June 20 that lays out the royalty fees to be imposed on Internet broadcasts. The Copyright Office ruled in December 2000 that organizations distributing music and other radio content over the Internet must pay additional fees to record companies that hold song copyrights. In February, an arbitration panel proposed rates based on each person who is receiving a broadcast sent online. The rates ranged from .07 of a penny per song for a radio broadcast to .14 of a penny for all other copyrighted audio sent on the Internet.
