Digital Distribution Royalty Rate

From the LA Times today:

Royalties for digital song downloads unchanged

This doesn't affect me or my job directly because Extreme doesn't sell its music commercially, but I thought it was interesting. I also think the Copyright Royalty Board was wise in not granting either party exactly what they wanted (the music publishers wanted a higher royalty and the digital distribution companies wanted a lower royalty). Regardless, I don't think this is the last we will hear of this issue.
