Last.fmIn a move reminiscent of union strikes, numerous Internet Radio companies have vowed a day of silence to occur on 26 Jun. SaveNetRadio, an advocacy group fighting to keep Internet Radio alive is maintaining a list of companies (Warning: PDF) that are participating.

Honestly, I don’t really see this doing anything other than pissing off the users. Users will immediate go to the companies and complain about not having their radio - hopefully the companies participating will make it easy for those complaining users to direct their complaints to their representatives in Washington. If those companies don’t easily explain the situation, and the reasons for the silence, they will be to blame from the users.

Some of the largest names involved are: Yahoo, Live365, Rhapsody, MTV Online, and Pandora - along with many others.

Last.fm has publically stated they will not be involved in the day of silence, which is probably pushed down from their new higher-ups at CBS.
