> The Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel, a body appointed by the
> U.S. Copyright Office, ruled on Feb. 20 that under the DMCA, radio
> stations must pay a fraction of a cent per song, per listener, for
> every song they stream. Under the CARP ruling, Internet-only radio
> stations would pay a royalty fee of 14/100 of a cent per song, per
> listener, retroactively through October 1998.
