Previously, the fee increase called for webcasters to be charged $500 per station per month in royalties. That would spell certain doom for stations such as Pandora and Live364 which offer thousands of streams over the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 153);\">Under SoundExchange&#8217;s latest olive branch, royalties would be capped at $2,500 per service, regardless of the overall number of stations or channels they are streaming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 153);\">&#8220;The idea that the per-channel minimum might have a disproportionate impact on certain internet radio stations was never presented to the Copyright Royalty Judges,&#8221; SoundExchange general counsel Michael Huppe said in a statement. &#8220;Nevertheless, at the request of Congress, we are trying to work with the small subset of affected webcasters, and are offering this proposal in the hopes of addressing those concerns.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 153);\">&#8230;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I used to work at Jarvis Products corporation, and I worked on meat packing tools including the Bung Dropper.
