Today is the online radio day of silence, to spur protest of recent copyright royalty board decision that would make online streaming of radio difficult beyond practical means of most listener supported public radio stations. Personally, I've never been a big fan of "Day of Silence" style protests. Seems that communication is the best way to reach understanding, and the odds that a lot of people notice anyone not talking seems low. But the cause is certainly good, and if they feel this is a useful expression of protest, who am I to judge. The important thing to do, whether you agree w/ shutting down the i-airwaves for a day or not, is to call/write/effigyburn your elected representatives and let them know that while they can take our lives, they cannot take our Freedom.
