In this case, they are proposing "full census reporting" of all songs played by any service.
What this means according to the "Broadcastlawblog" is that:
"...an Internet radio service would have to submit the name of every song that they play to SoundExchange, along with information as to how many times that song played, the name of the featured artist, and either the recording's ISRC code or both the album title and label", instead of reporting just two weeks every quarter.

At this point it's only at the proposal stage: http://www.loc.gov/crb/fedreg/2008/73fr79727.pdf
But, if this goes through, it will just further tighten the knot on the growth of webcasting.
