Schools settle with music industry over webcast fees - eSchool News staff and wire service reports
The recording industry and operators of educational and noncommercial web sites have settled on royalty rates for broadcasting music over the internet, circumventing a looming arbitration battle, the recording industry said June 3. The agreement spares the industry and webcasters a costly arbitration with the U.S. Copyright Office, which was scheduled to start at the end of June, the Recordin g Industry Association of America (RIAA) said in a statement. Under the deal, noncommercial webcasters—including college and K-12 radio stations that stream music online—will pay much less than earlier rules set by the U.S. Copyright Office would have stipulated. But the deal still limits how often they can play songs by the same artist online.
