In Amerika sind momentan alle Live-Streams (z.B. Z-100, KIIS FM, usw.) down! Der Grund sind Streitereien zwischen der Plattenindustrie und den Radiostationen bezüglich der Tantiemen.
Hier der Hinweis, den die meisten Radiostationen auf die Internet-Seiten gesetzt haben:
"Due to continuing uncertainty over rights issues related to the streaming of radio broadcast programming over the Internet, including issues regarding demands for additional fees for the streaming of recorded music and radio commercials, we and our advertisers are forced to temporarily disable our streaming. We apologize for the inconvenience of this interruption. We are working with both our advertisers and the Recording Industry Association of America to find a solution to those problems as quickly as possible so that we can resume our streaming."
