18 days and counting till the end of internet radio...
I wrote a post over at Mile high's forum, and instead of rewriting it, I'm just going to paste it in here. It's just as relevant. Check it out:
Ok, all of you forum addicts. I imagine while browsing the posts here you've found out about the many great websites that broadcast an online stream of music, also known as "internet radio". These stations have to pay royalties to the labels/musicians just like normal radio, but recently, a decision was made to raise those payments so high that it will effectively shut down every small webcaster out there. The only ones left will be the largest, which tend to lack the diverse programming found on the small stations. There's only 18 days left till this goes into effect, and many of the best stations go bankrupt. You can get more details here:

If you aren't familiar with internet radio, here's a few of my favorites:
