Internet Radio Day of Silence

Today's the day that many internet radio stations went silent to protest the upcoming hike in royalty fees. But, I have a hard time caring. Maybe it's because I don't listen to online radio. I have nothing against it, but when I'm not at work, I use radio everywhere but the computer. So, online radio going away makes no impact in my life.

I know I should be paying attention to the bigger picture here. It's sort of the old "I did nothing when they came for them and when they came for me, there was nobody left" kind of feeling. Since there's talk of hiking royalty fees for broadcast radio, if online radio gets successfully fleeced, then broadcast radio will be an easier target. And that all of us in radio should stand together against the fee hike.

Hey, wow. That's actually a pretty good argument.

Then why do I still not care?
