Day of Silence

Our esteemed Midwestern Internet radio station WOXY will go quiet today in observance of our government trying to take a large crap on everything that is good - again:
From WOXY:
The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on July 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!).
To protest these rates and encourage you to take action and contact your Congressional representatives, WOXY.com is taking part in the Day of Silence by silencing both our main channel and WOXY Vintage for today. Don't fret, the rock returns at Midnight EDT this evening.
Please call your Congressional Representatives today to ensure the future of Internet radio. Click this link for instructions how. For more background and information, check out KurtHanson.com and SaveNetRadio.org.
Thanks for your support of this important issue
- Bryan Jay, Mike, Shiv and Joe
