The three-member Copyright Royalty Board voted yesterday to freeze the rate that digital music stores are required to pay to music publishers. The decision keeps royalty rates at 9.1 cents/track instead of raising it to 15 cents/track, a 66% increase. With an estimated 70 cents of every 99 cents song going to music labels the increase would have decimated the already razor thin profit margin Apple makes off the sales of online music.

CYNOPSIS KIDS – TODAY’S TOP STORY: The US Senate passed two acts that relate to kids and their viewing and online activity: Child Safe Viewing Act requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to further investigate new blocking technologies and review existing blocking devices and ratings aimed at helping parents monitor what their kids watch on TV and online via various media platforms; and the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act aims to bring parents, industry and educators together to improve education for kids about the internet while also strengthening parental control.
