The Copyright Royalty Board (CRB)

The Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) has announced its
decision on Internet radio royalty rates, rejecting all of
the arguments made by Webcasters and instead adopting
the "per play" rate proposal put forth by SoundExchange
(a digital music fee collection body created by the RIAA).

RAIN has learned the rates that the Board has decided on,
effective retroactively through the beginning of 2006.
They are as follows:
2006 - $.0008 per performance
2007 - $.0011 per performance
2008 - $.0014 per performance
2009 - $.0018 per performance
2010 - $.0019 per performance
