BTW the other annoying part of this new law is that it could easily be interpreted to include all podcasts, not just streaming radio.

There is a clause in the law that says this mandatory license can be waived by the owner of the music for specific cases - so Adam Curry was considering a way to change the license on Podshow’s Podsafe Music Network so that Podshow automatically sends off the appropriate notices for all registered artists to waive the license for anyone using music from the PMN. That’s about the only thing that can save internet radio if the license isn’t changed by the various pressures the community is putting on the US government.
