First, this, then this from Kurt Hanson's newsletter:

"In a stunning victory for webcasting, both the Senate and the House of Representatives unanimously passed a revised version of H.R. 5469 late last night that clears the way for copyright owners to offer webcasters a percentage-of-revenues royalty rate, essentially allowing the parties to mutually agree to override the CARP decision of last spring."

So, if I'm reading correctly, that means webcasters pay royalties if they make money off of the music?

Wow, that sounds like a good move in the right direction!
