A propósito do dia de silêncio na internet (EUA)

Kurt Hanson explica porque é que vários grupos com responsabilidades nos EUA não aderem:

«First and foremost, some groups believe the death of Internet Radio is a blessing. They feel that the less Internet radio there is, the better off they will be. In fact, if all Internet radio stations disappeared tomorrow such that terrestrial stations could shut down their streaming efforts, I'm sure many would be glad to do so. (...) Radio will, in other words, be victimized by its lack of vision. Because not only will this rate hike, if it's approved, come back to haunt radio by setting a precedent for what "fair" compensation is, not only will it cause many broadcasters to abandon their streaming efforts (if they had any to begin with), it will also kill most small webcasters leaving room only for the folks with deep pockets and a long view of the future»
