can't stop the music.

From a story about the Performance Rights Act, a potential tax radio stations may have to pay to play music.

    Do you know if this tax includes really great American web radio music stations like www.1.fm and the web comedy station BCN Online www.bcnonline.com ?
    Your photo has really nice warm natural color, and you captured the DJ with a great natural looking smile on her face. Good Job!

    Thanks! And thanks for all your comments on my photos. It's encouraging knowing someone is watching.

    About the proposed tax...it hasn't been taxed yet, but as far as I know, it does include web stations. I don't think it would apply to talk shows and comedy, though.

    There's a website answering some questions, if you're interested. :]

    If you want to find out about 1.FM that I mentioned in my first comment, I have done a review on it at: http://tinyurl.com/1FMreview

    Perhaps Internet radio like this will be our future salvation, unless they too are taxed to oblivion.

    Then it'll be time to dust off all those old acoustic guitars and start playing and singing cowboy songs around campfires... hmmm.....
