Lawmakers in Washington Push Legislation Aimed at Lowering Online Radio Station Royalties

Lawmakers in Washington have introduced legislation in both the House and Senate aimed at reducing the royalties that online radio stations pay to music publishers and artists. Online radio stations say that current laws governing royalties are unfair to online radio stations. Online radio stations pay as much is 55% of the revenue in royalty fees.
