This issue has not been resolved fairly, and the 'due date' needs to be extended 60 days until indefinitely until web casters can get the same respect as broadcast radio that has been protected by congress for as long as there has been radio. There is no reason why the arguments that were upheld in the past to support public radio and protect it from royalty payments should not apply to a new technology that operates in a culturally identical way.
