There’s more opposition to a performance royalty for radio. More than 80 school-licensed radio stations have signed a letter that is apposed to H.R. 848, the “Performance Right Act” now in Congress. This morning’s Taylor on Radio-Info says that’s significant because “the RIAA suggests that non-coms would enjoy a sweetheart deal under the new law.” But this group of schools says “in the real world, those proposed fees represent large portions of annual budgets for student-operated stations.” College Broadcasting Inc. President Warren Kozireski says “the recordkeeping requirements that will be required by the Copyright Royalty Board alone will add hundreds if not thousands of dollars to the true cost of a performance fee.” The signers include school operations at Duke, Harvard, Rice University, Virginia Tech, and Washington State University.
