May not have much impact on those of us doing synch websites, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless...

The L.A. Times has an article on the ongoing battle over webcasting licensing fees between the RIAA (boo!) and webcasters. An independent arbitration committee suggested guidelines, and both parties are fighting the compromise. The RIAA wants higher (when don't they?) and the webcasters want it lower. Companies that previously negotiated with the RIAA for webcasting fees are mostly out of business, so it seems silly that they still want to charge high rates, what with this economy and all.
