Dima and SoundExchange Set Annual Minimum Fee
WASHINGTON D.C. -- The SaveNetRadio coalition of webcasters, net radio listeners, and the artists they support has announced its endorsement of an agreement reached between the Digital Media Association and SoundExchange today that will establish a $50,000 per service cap on the "$500 per channel minimum royalty."
"We are encouraged by today's announcement," Jake Ward, a spokesperson for the SaveNetRadio coalition said. "This agreement is a clear sign of progress in the ongoing negotiations between webcasters and SoundExchange and a very good first step toward a viable solution, but it is just the beginning. As the negotiation of recording royalty rates and terms continues, SaveNetRadio urges everyone involved to work in good faith toward a resolution.
The agreement would also require that:
- Webcasters provide SoundExchange with a comprehensive and accurate annual record of songs performed,
- SoundExchange and DiMA will form a committee to evaluate the issue of streamripping

Solicitations and Submissions
Solicitations for blog posts can be made by sending and email to "blog -at- indyintune -dot- com" and should follow these guidelines:
- Local (Indianapolis-based) acts always have priority.
- Visisting acts playing a bill with one or more local acts are also considered.
- We generally don't like to repeat content found on other sites. If your request already has a lot of coverage on other sites, it will be considered low-priority unless you can give us an exclusive angle.
- For obvious reasons, we don't do solicited album reviews, though we do appreciate you letting us know when you have a new release. Consider coming in and talking about the album yourself live on the air or a podcast.
- All of our staff writers are unpaid enthusiasts. All requests for blog posts are entirely at their descretion.
- As such, they generally need a lot of lead-time to put something out -- we're talking weeks of lead time, not hours.
- That said, individual authors have full authority to ignore the following guidelines and write whatever they want ... if you can convince them to.
- In addition, feel free to write your own post and submit it for posting as a "guest blogger." Those almost always get accepted.
- Finally, regional or national acts submitting without meeting the above guidelines are generally ignored. We're not trying to be dicks, but if you send us a generic form-letter with your press release, and it doesn't even remotely concern a local artist or event, then you're not part of our core focus.
