i received this email from a co-station member... ========MESSAGE TO ALL WKDU MEMBERS======== HEY-I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE HIP WITH WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF INTERNET RADIO. I THINK THE SITUATION IS CRUCIAL. AND MAYBE WKDU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE? Webcasters can participate in the ìday of silenceî by either totally cutting their signal or with heavy schedules of public service announcements (including a moment of silence ó e.g., "here's what internet radio may sound like on May 22nd...") Those that plan to participate include most of the top-rated independent webcasters, such as AllDanzRadio (various formats), Beethoven.com (classical), Choice Radio (various formats), ChronixRadio (rock), ClevelandHits.com (CHR), CyberRadio2000 (various formats), Digitally Imported (various forms of electronica), GoodTimeOldiesRadio (oldies), and HardRadio (rock). Also participating: iNetProgramming (bluegrass and other formats), Internet Radio Hawai'i (Hawaiian music), KING-FM/Seattle (classical), KPIG/Freedom, CA (Americana), KTOZ/Springfield, MO (variety), M4Radio (indie rock), Mostly Classical (classical), Radio Paradise (AAA), Radioio (AAA) and RAIN Radio (several formats).

Online users can call or write their congressmen and representatives to express their opinions on the issues. This is not just a US issue. The CARP decision will have an impact on webcasting around the world.
