| News |
After months of negotiation, Internet-only webcasters and the music industry have finally reached an agreement on royalty rates for the period of 2006-2015!
AccuRadio CEO Kurt Hanson played a lead role in the rate negotiations, working with representatives from other webcasters, including Pandora, Digitally Imported, and radioIO, and attorney David Oxenford. The deal will have AccuRadio paying about 14% of our revenues to SoundExchange, which represents record labels and recording artists, until we hit $1.25 million in annual revenues, 25% of our revenues in the following year after that, and a per-song, per-listener rate after that. (Additional details are available at www.kurthanson.com.)
Many AccuRadio listeners helped by calling or e-mailing their Congressmen regarding the issue, back when it looked as if we on the brink of extinction.
Thanks to everyone involved, from all of us at AccuRadio!
