Numerous webcasters have filed a request for an emergency stay in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit could delay "D-day" for the webcasting industrynpr  should the CRB rates remain unchanged.

The motion, filed by the Digital Media Association in conjunction with National Public Radio, and the Small Commercial Webcasters, formally requests the court delay the implementation of the CRB’s "radical and arbitrary" recording royalty rate increase imposed May 1. Legislation that would repeal the rate increase is pending in the Senate and the House, but may not be brought to a vote in either chamber before July 15th, the day the first payments for the newly increased rates for webcasters are due…

SaveNetRadio spokesperson, Jake Ward said, "We are hopeful that today’s motion for an emergency stay will afford the Internet radio industry crucialsnr.org time to rehear this case… SaveNetRadio and the millions of webcasters, artists and listeners we represent urge the Court to give this motion full consideration."
