SUPPORT THE INTERNET RADIO FAIRNESS ACT

FIT Radio’s primary purpose is to provide our listeners with up-beat mixes that motivate

our users to keep moving in an energetic and positive direction. Currently, we at FIT

Radio ask our users to take just a few minutes to help keep us moving in a direction to

better serve those who enjoy our app and the artists that make our content so incredible

and unique. We respectfully ask our listeners to contact their representatives to

support the Internet Radio Fairness Act.

Ever since the Internet and music have crossed paths, this union has invited a stream of

contention and conversation between listeners, musical artists, music providers, and of

course, the federal government. This ongoing conversation primarily centers on how

music providers should compensate musical artists for playing their music. In other

words, the issue of how to handle royalties has dominated the discussion. Unfortunately,

these royalty stipulations placed on Internet radio (including FIT Radio) providers

hinders their ability to play the songs and artists you know and love. Even worse, the

rigors of royalties may prevent you from enjoying up-and-coming artists that FIT Radio

features.

Presently, royalty restrictions place discriminatory and outdated penalties on Internet

radio providers that somehow escape the satellite-based SiriusXM. For example, last

year alone, SiriusXM only had to pay 10 percent of their revenues to artists, while the

Internet-based Pandora shelled out a staggering 50 percent of their revenues to artists.

Yes, royalties took up half of Pandora’s revenues, and FIT Radio is under the same fire.

This glaring difference is solely due to outdated royalty laws. Changing these unfair laws

is not only crucial to our existence and your enjoyment of the music we play, such a

change is now finally possible.

All you have do to is take a few minutes to call, email, or even Tweet your representative

(insert name and link here) to support the Internet Radio Fairness Act. Doing so will not

only help us continue to create the mixes you enjoy, contacting [your representative] will

help aspiring talented artists to have their music heard.

Thank you all for listening and for your support,

FIT Radio
