Performance Rights Act, Radio Fees, House Judiciary Committee

The House Judiciary Committee passed a bill that would levy new fees on local radio stations for airing music. If enacted, half of these fees would go to major record labels, most of which are based outside the United States. The hosts suggest this move could be the "final neck chop" for traditional music radio, leading to an increase in talk radio.
