the entire Internet Radio Industry is at stake

[nefar559]

"Recently the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP) that was appointed by the U.S. Government Copyright Office, at the prompting of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), recommended new and burdensome royalty payments on Internet radio broadcasters. These royalties do not apply to traditional broadcasters of AM and FM radio, so they represent a direct attempt by the RIAA to drive Internet radio out of business. In simple terms, this misguided ruling by the panel will bankrupt most Internet radio stations. At best, a few deep-pocket corporations will continue to serve music over the Internet. With your help we can keep this ruling from becoming law and ending internet radio"

NEW ARBITRON PRESS RELEASE

NEW YORK, August 19, 2002

Weekly "Streamies" - people who have watched or listened to streaming media online in the past week - bought more than one and a half times the number of compact discs (CDs) in the past year than the average American, according to a new study by Arbitron Inc. (NYSE:ARB) and Edison Media Research.

The study, "Internet 9: The Media and Entertainment World of Online Consumers," found that weekly Streamies bought 21 CDs in the past year, compared to the average American, who bought 13 CDs.

"While some in the record industry have viewed streaming as a threat, this research indicates that Streamies are a very lucrative group of record buyers," said Bill Rose, vice president and general manager, Arbitron Webcast Services, Arbitron Inc.


*The study also found that residential broadband adoption has doubled in just under 18 months. Those with a cable modem or DSL Internet connection at home jumped from 12 percent in January 2001 to 28 percent in July 2002.
These and other new findings from the study will be presented during a live webcast on Thursday, September 5 at 12:00 Noon EDT. Those interested in viewing the free webcast can register at www.arbitron.com or www.edisonresearch.com.
