From the Radio And Interbet Newsletter:
In an exclusive interview, SoundExchange director John Simson told RAIN -- for publication -- that royalty-compliant webcasters can continue operating even after the July 15th royalty bill deadline without fear of legal action, a dramatic change from the position webcasters and audiences were expecting the organization to endorse.
Speaking
to RAIN, Simson said, "For the people who want to comply with the law
and are in bona fide negotiations with us, we don't want those people
to be intimidated. And we don't want them to stop streaming."

Personally, from all I've read on this turn of events, it seems to a temporary reprieve that is only delaying the inevitable. But it is good news - many stations, including mine, that would have gone silent after this weekend will now continue to stream for the time being.

A fellow by the name of Elliot Back wrote a plug in, but I don't believe he is behind this site. Here's the info he sent me about the site:
