More on the PERFORM Act, and Who To Contact
With Dianne Feinstein re-creating the PERFORM act yesterday, we would like to talk more about it, including what we know so far, and who to contact to help defeat it in committee.
With the bill being released, we now know it is bill number S.256(Congressional Record). Feinstein gave a speech about it. Here is the summary of the bill:
-Royalties will be decided for satellite radio, internet radio, et al as a whole
-It will raise the cost of recordable receivers, by making the maker pay a ‘reproduction royalty’
-It won’t prevent the radios from recording prechosen timeslots, such as recording Fridays from 3-4p.
-Traditional Radio is not applicable to this bill.
