May 12th 2007 – Save Internet Radio Day @ Winterfell
The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on July 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). If the increased rates remain unchanged, the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date. Internet radio needs your help! H.R. 2060, The Internet Radio Equality Act was introduced by Representatives Jay Inslee (D-WA) and Donald Manzullo (R-IL ) to save the Internet radio industry. For more information please go to http://www.savenetradio.org/ .
To help raise awareness of this issue, Winterfell will host a number of events on May 12th 2007. The Lindens are aware of this problem thanks to Synn pressing the issue. But we must raise more community awareness and show Linden Lab how much we need them to raise their voice in support for keeping internet radio alive.
As a huge supporter of internet radio I am looking for a number of DJ's to host 2 hour events, starting at 10am on May 12th, I am offering $1500L for each two-hour slot.
10am – 12pm SLT
12pm – 2pm SLT
2pm – 4pm SLT
4pm – 6pm SLT (DJ Synn)
6pm – 8pm SLT (DJ Azazeal)
Please contact me or Synn Mounier if you are interested in helping with the events as a DJ, host, event promoter or plain old rabble rouser! *purrs* We just love a good rabble rouser!!
Much love!
Serra Anansi and Synn Mounier
