Sen. Dianne Feinstein has re-introduced the PERFORM Act, which forces both satellite and Internet broadcasters to use DRM or lose their license to broadcast music. The bill denies you the right to high quality recordings and would cripple recording and playback devices. Tell Congress NO!

This bill would also mess with Internet radio. Today, Live365, Shoutcast, streaming radio stations included in iTunes, and myriad other smaller webcasters rely on MP3 streaming. PERFORM would in effect force them to use DRM-laden, proprietary formats, so you can say goodbye to software tools like Streamripper that let you record programming to listen to it later.
