These SoundExchange guys are a real piece of work:
The disputed status of the deal had some Internet radio operators claiming that negotiations were tantamount to a reprieve on the deadline.

With interest! Their shamelessness knows no bounds.

I hope Congress passes the IREA soon, it appears that is the only way to settle this once and for all.
