LiveEarth — Parental Advisory, Excessive Energy Use

Talk about a turnaround. How does the guy whose wife is responsible for parental advisory stickers being placed on any and all CDs with curse words, go on to host one of the largest music concerts in history? Must be a Tennessee thing. Al Gore's dream concert, LiveEarth recently wrapped up, bringing his cause of a greener earth to, well, the earth! There are a few detractors to the event, as many ask how can such a huge show possibly be held, without using tons of energy? I guess the jury is still out on that one. Personally, I think it was a worthy cause well overdue. Here are a few links on the concerts.

Fine Print Folitricks Found in Sound Exchange Filing

KCRW has been of of the leaders in the fight against Internet royalty rate hikes. Rulings by the Copyright Review Board have many online broadcasters preparing for the end, as new payment deadlines loom closer. Many of your favorite online radio stations will cease to exist if the new laws are not challenged. Sound Exchange, the company behind the new royalty laws, has offered a cap on the payment rates. Celia Hirschman, host of KCRW's "On The Velvet Rope," points out that the new deal is not as good as it seems. In fact, she asserts that there are hidden details that may prevent webcasters from seeking any further legal action. In addition to that, the offer of a cap is only good for 18 months, with no guarantees after that. Listen to the segment "Cloudy Issues Surround Internet Radio" at KCRW's website.
