Internet radio has proven again that the internet is a great mobilizing medium. They were able to get people to care enough about digital music for them to contact their congress people and stop the rate hike.
from Wired' digital listening post:
He said everyone who called their Congress person about this should feel that they had an effect on the process: "This is a direct result of lobbying pressure, so if anyone thinks their call didn't matter, it did. That's why this is happening." The flyer DiMA distributed to Congress today probably helped a bit too, but overall, it appears Congress intervened due to pressure from web radio listeners."
