Summary:

Satellite radio currently pays dramatically lower royalties than internet
radio.  A congressional proposal would lower internet radio rates to be in line
with Satellite.  Artists are opposed b/c they get less money. 

An RIAA proposal would instead raise Satellite royalties to be in line with
Internet, and for the first time charge royalties for terrestrial radio.
