When the Copyright Royalty Board, an obscure arm of Congress, drastically raised the royalty rates paid by Internet radio webcasters by a whopping 300%-1200%, they came to Qorvis to help them reverse the decision and fight against the looming payments, due in only a matter of months.  Qorvis mobilized and within two weeks, created SaveNetRadio, a broad-based coalition of webcasters, listeners, and artists and labels that catapulted the issue onto front pages across the country. 

Using our powerful combination of coalition-building, public relations, grassroots lobbying and web communications, Qorvis kept the issue alive and kicking in the press, helped the coalition bring groups of Internet radio executives and independent artists to Capitol Hill to tell their stories.  They testified in the House of Representatives, held staff briefings, talked with staff, and held concerts on the park grounds of the Senate, in the shadow of the US Capitol.

The campaign generated 400,000 calls and 400,000 letters to Congress in less than 3 months, and the overwhelming response forced Congress to introduce the “Internet Radio Equality Act” in both the House and the Senate.   Congressional staffers have called SaveNetRadio the "grassroots campaign of the year."
