65751 Anonymous6134801HELPS! I don't watch tv, so this and radio are the only ways for me to hear new musicI love listening to the 9. I heard it when I went to school in DeKalb. If they can't stream anymore, I cannot listen to one of my favorite radio stations.weplayanything.com
65752 DANI HANEK6052701EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE. WITHOUT INTERNET RADIO I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANY MUSIC AT WORK... THAT IS 8-10 HRS A DAY /5-6 DAYS A WEEK (I WORK ALOT) THAT WOULDN'T GET ANY EXPOSURE.ESPN, 9FM, XRT,JACKFM,
65753 Dave Johnston6018901Helps. I am able to hear song I wouldn't normally listen to and music that is not on any of my radio stations.CRIK Nine FM Yahoo Music
65754 Shannon Barnaby6011501I feel the existence of internet radio helps the music industry because I am able to hear a variety of music I wouldn't otherwise hear which in turn usually causes me to buy music I would not have otherwise even known about.
65755 Anonymous6062201I feel that it helps bc I listen to internet radio at work and hear songs that I normally wouldn't get the chance to hear bc regular radio doesn't get reception in my office building. In turn, I buy more songs on itunes and occassionally cds.
65756 David Gonzalez3270702Internet radio provides a medium for exposure that is otherwise unavailable.
65757 mike collins32168dont hurtopen road radio
65758 Lennart de Wit3261 JC01I think it only helps, because you get to hear songs you might not have heard before, and most of the internet radio sites display what songs they're playing, so you have no trouble looking up the song you liked so much! This way, sales will only go up in my point of view.Keiichi.net EX² : Extreme anime radio! http://www.radio,keiichi.net/
65759 AnonymousMontreal, Quebec Canada01Helps most definitely
65760 Anonymous6013702helps by providing another outlet for listening.
65761 Anonymous01It helps the music industry by spreading out the songs to everyone worldwide. So what is the bad here. This really promotes one artist to the world.Keiichi.net
65762 Jamie Osborn9458701
65763 Angela Walsh6006701Helps - i hear songs that I may miss while at work and that makes me want to buy them...We Play Anything - 9 FM
65764 chris para6005001helps92.7
65765 Anonymous91402I think it helps because, I it as another part of cool history... why is this true? Because the old music can become new again to those who never heard it.For some people such as myself... a computer is easier to access and then a radio or CD player... due to physical limitations... thank you for having this petition.Classic rock, classic disco, 70s music and classic country.
65766 Ralph Lestock4411602NO.
65767 Anonymous850101It helps the music industries since it gives people a sort of trial for a particular music by a band.
65768 Franci MauriciThe existence of Internet radio helps b/c I am exposed to more music i would want to buy/download.

65770 Andy6046501It helps the industry by us discovering new artists we didnt even know existed...You have nothing to gain by banning internet radio so why don't you put your efforts towards something useful like world hunger, fight against aids, or rising oil prices!!
65771 Anonymous0730602Absolutely not. If it did, you might as well abolish the regular radios. I do not see why and how it will hurt the industry.All Anime radio stations
65772 Anonymous4522302Helps by exposing listeners to types of music that may not be available on stations in their local market.

65774 Kim Wedl60084Helps!!!
65775 ERICA WALTON6017702It definately helps - if I didn't get to listen to music on the Internet, I wouldn't be able to listen to it at all during my work day. If I didn't hear it then, I don't have a very long drive in or home from work, so how else would I hear new or any songs that I like?Q101.1 (101.1 FM) WTMX (101.9 FM) LOVE FM (100.3 FM) 9 FM (92.5 FM) KISS 1035 FM (103.5 FM)
65776 Kristi Jones6110902Helps... it helps me discover new songs that I may have missed while at work, not being able to listen to the radio.

65778 Rebecca Copen66002
65779 Trista Meyer6108101I feel that the existence of Internet radio helps the music industry because it gives people a chance to listen to to a wide variety of songs while they are on the interenet which in turn will increase music sales.
65780 Mark McCarthy6040301It helps. It brings people music they otherwise wouldn't listen to, and then find new artists.Any that plays music!

65791 Karen Bauer6043102I would think so, yes!wtmx.com The Mix
65792 Gregg Casillo4501402Helps. My wife has become an iTunes fan, and I have sought out CDs of artists that I would not have otherwise been exposed to.Terrestrial radio is far too limited now. Satellite radio has been unjustly held back by the FCC. Internet streams are where the growth and potential are.181.1 FM. Soma.
65793 Anonymous6000701HELPS! I listen alot at work or on the computer at home. I hear a new song and if like it, will go out and buy the CD!!!92.7 / 103.5 / 101.9

65795 magdalena60016
65796 Charlton Ford2954102I think that the existence of internet radio helps the music industry because when you hear a song you want to explore more of the artist's features so, most people go and get the information on than song and buy the CD.Japan-A-Radio Keiichi.net EX2
65797 Anonymous6017802
65798 sandra hansson02helps, it makes the listener find new musicians in that gengre they listen.
65799 Brenden Metcalfe8083101i believe it helps the industry because it shows songs that may or may not be played by the local radio stations that operate on the air waves instead of the radio. effecting more listeners then one local radio station or even a national radio station! hows that for advertising.. couldn't get better. removing internet radio stations by increasing what they must pay to stay operational makes no sense at all. the economy works like a bicycle. the wheel will spin as long as there is no resistance..taxes and fees/fines are like brakes that slow down the economy. increasing bills for internet radio stations does not promote internet radio,the songs they play or the artists who work so hard to make those songs.Keiichi.net Extreme Anime Radio,Club 977, and Ultimate 80s
65800 Aidan Wolff Calvert7440102Helps in a sense because they allow the listeners to hear songs that are hard to come by on a limited budget.
