What I love about being an American.
I do actually care about this recent ruling, and hope that it is overturned. However, I am too lazy (and busy keeping up with the Man) to actually do anything about it. So, if you have a chance, send a letter to my congressmen too. thanks,

Save Internet Radio - Ask Your Congressperson To Support "Internet Radio Equality Act"
Body:
This bill was just introduced to reverse a decision by the US Copyright Royalty Board that will raise royalty rates paid by Net radio operators from 300-1200% in the next few years. This would end up shutting down over 75% of current net radio providers.The bill would provide for a more modest increase of 30% by 2010. If you've ever used a website like www.pandora.com, you know it's worth saving. A call or email to your Congressional
representatives is the only way to do it:
