I always get a little nervous when this sort of thing comes up, because I love my Internet radio stations like they're family. But how many times has the death of the process been predicted already?

I only skimmed the article but I doubt this sort of thing will be a problem. This is another in a long line of internet related legislation but while these companies and governmental bodies are happy to come up with rules for the internet it seems like these rules are enforced primarily by wishing really hard.
Fear not, noble Golfhaus, your free tunes are safe for now.
I got the impression this stuff mainly relates to streaming radio, do they have a plan on how to charge royalties for podcasts as well? I mean you download it once but folk could be listening to it dozens of times, they could be sharing it online with those naughty p2p services. Scandalous!
