Dupa cum a aflat pana si Slashdot, ieri a fost Day of Silence On the Internet. Un numar de statii de streaming radio (webcasters) si-au incetat emisia in semn de protest fata de intrarea in vigoare incepand cu 15 iulie a unei masuri legislative care impune taxe (royalties) prohibitive, calculate la numarul de clienti conectati -- vezi Internet Radio on Death Row pentru detalii.

Ce vor astia sa faca in SUA mi se pare de o dobitocenie absoluta. Nu e o zi sa nu vina americanii cu cate una.
Cred ca din vreun motiv anume incearca sa inchida toate radio-urile online.
Nu vad o cale de a plati per conexiune, decat daca detin vreun camp petrolifer in Texas (sau Iraq).
