Internet Radio tax created to kill small webcasters and eliminate competition

Erik sez: "The guy who wrote the deal that the webcasting royalty fee model was made from (a deal that Yahoo repuidated after one year, since they were getting creamed) was specifically designed to kill small webcasters trying to work a percentage of revenue royalty deal."

Now, no one asked me any of these things prior, during, or after the first or second pricing. I'm not sure that this matters. But if it does, here it is: The Yahoo! deal I worked on, if it resembles the deal the CARP ruling was built on, was designed so that there would be less competition, and so that small webcasters who needed to live off of a "percentage-of-revenue" to survive, couldn't.
