The long-awaited rates from the three-person Copyright Royalty Board finally arrived late Wednesday night. In 2016, commercial webcasters will pay 22 cents per performance for any subscription services (such as Pandora One which is $5.00 per month). That's down from 25 cents per spin. Commercial non-subscription services will pay 17 cents per performance. That's up from 14 cents for Pandora and down from 25 cents for radio.
