They are trying to increase royalties 1000%, as of yesterday ,which will kill probably all internet radio stations.

No they are not, what they are trying to do is to add the same rules to internet radio that "traditional" radio has to follow.....which for some online only radio stations would remove most of their programming because of content.....along with that the RIAA is still looking into regulating the internet radio stations to the point of "spying" on its listeners to ensure they are not using a recording program to "steal" whats being broadcast, and since the online radio stations are broadcasting with a better sound and file quality than a traditional radio station they are trying to say that its possible to copy whats being broadcast and create a copy of that broadcast in pure digital format making it impossible to determine if its original or copied. All that being said, the RIAA is basically trying to justify their existance by constantly stirring up contoversy over things that are really out of their control.

How are they doing that? I don't think so, I've seen internet radio slowly but steadily grow on an annual basis. Need more details please...
