Democracy for Vancouver

I listen to an absurd amount of streaming internet radio, both at work and home. I plan on doing something about this.
From Alterati:

Internet Radio Gutted, Vultures Gather Since you probably can’t surf porn in the office, I assume if you’re at the office then you’re using the net to read alterati and listen to internet radio while you’re working on spreadsheets and shit. However, starting in the middle of next month, an absurdly intolerant and just fucking unwieldy law goes into effect charging as much as 1200% royalties on tracks played over internet radio, and requiring the last 17 months of radio play to be backpaid to a couple of lawyers.. (Seriously? How are they planning to track this? How are they going to enforce it?) This punishes only those abiding by the law, and that means the internet remains a place of illegitimate broadcasts by folks somehow knowingly skirting a national law in a post-nationalist cyberspace that politicians still don’t quite know what to make of… and those legitimate, non-profit stations out there that are streaming music online will be subject to controls preventing them from acquiring too large an audience, lest they also be subject to a fine. This is lunacy, ineffective legislation, and a nightmare all around. It will have a muffling effect on internet radio, and a number of stations online are joining in protest, to illustrate what this means. Hence, no internet radio for you, as today is a day of internet radio silence, and the No Other Radio show will only be broadcast locally as a result.

There is still something you can do about it.
