NAB Challenges CRB Streaming Decision

[Carmine5]

It's nice to see a little bit of attention being paid to an otherwise moribund, but no less important, topic.

It's also nice to see the NAB using their lobbying efforts for good for a change.

This is true and according to the court documents the NAB has tried to make that differentiation (not very convincingly, IMHO). However, they also challenge the whole "willing buyer, willing seller" premise that the webcasting fees are based on and that is a good thing.
