Save Internet Radio

Whilst the BBC still makes some bloody good radio programs, I am one of many who uses and enjoys independent internet radio stations. Perhaps the best of these is Pandora, which is incredibly good for finding new artists amid the dizzying array of genres and hype. Sadly, Pandora and other stations are now facing extinction thanks to an apparently irrational decision by various copyright authorities to charge them way over the odds for playing music. Please help to save these excellent and invaluable independent voices in internet radio by reading more details here and signing the relevant petition here. You need to be a US citizen, alas, since the decision has been made by US Copyright authorities.
