Column: Radio's greatest threat: H.R. 848

04/05/2009

If you have recently listened to the radio, then you have probably heard something about a "performance tax" that could kill radio stations.

Wow! This sounds really bad, right?

Well, there is more to this issue than what it may seem.

This "tax" is actually not a tax, but rather royalties radio stations would have to pay to musicians for using their songs on the air under a reworded, previous bill, HR 848 or the "Performance Rights Act."
