Webcasters across the country have begun an organized effort to mobilize listeners in the fight to keep their operations  online.
Faced with last week’s Copyright Royalty Board decision, which threatens to shutter the huge majority of Internet radio operations in the U.S., webcast audiences are rushing to respond, signing online petitions and calling the attention of their elected officials to the Webcasters’ struggle.
There are already a number of destinations for Internet radio listeners to support Webcasters in their fight against this latest ruling. Below is a list of sites where Webcasters and audiences alike can discuss the ruling, contact members of Congress, and generally contribute to helping to keep Internet radio online:
 Save The Streams — A site published by the RAIN team designed to be a "central command" for Webcastersand audiences looking for continuously updated info and links.
- Save Our Internet Radio — Site published by a Radio Paradise fan with comments from listeners, editorials on the CRB ruling (including one by William Goldsmith), and links to other relevant sites and information.
