From savenetradio.org:

The Copyright Royalty Board has announced a music royalty rate plan, retroactive to include 2006, that could put many locally-operated, independent internet radio "stations" out of business. The new "per play" rate proposal "has huge implications for the many internet radio stations in the DC area," we're told. "A station with 1,000 listeners will now have to pay $150,000 a year in royalties. So say goodbye to indie radio online. You must only listen to and buy what Big Brother tells you to." A local internet radio station operator tells DCRTV that his site would face a retroactive payment "higher than any home purchase in the DC area. Obviously, pending the outcome of Live365.com legal review on the situation, the (royalty group) has effectively killed legal internet broadcasting."
