CARP Proposal Rejected

[papadoc]

The CARP proposal to charge fees for internet broadcasting,
was rejected today by the Librarian of Congess,
based upon the recommendation of the Register of Copyrights.

The final determintion will come on June 20, 2002.

This does not mean we (internet radio broadcasters, listeners, etc.)
have won the battle.
But we are definitely still in the game.
