155 bands and 29 record labels are joining the Rock The Net campaign. The campaign will attempt to prevent US Internet service providers from charging a fee for some sites to load faster than others.
More from Rock The Net’s web site: “Net Neutrality – the principle that preserves a free and open internet…and ensures that all users can access the content, or run the applications and devices of their choice. As musicians and entrepreneurs, we understand the importance of treating all websites equally – from the busiest online music store to the smallest blog. We urge Congress to support network neutrality.”
If only somebody was rocking the net this morning when all the Bjork NYC presale tix got snagged up before the ‘purchase’ page could load properly. Sigh.
Ug- I feel you on the Bjork tickets… I am already convinced that it is not meant to be for me this time around. I saw her once. I guess I can let others have a chance…
I hope net neutrality remains a reality. Greed and human nature are against it, but you never know. Cool site, BTY!
