                                                            Court Ruling Lets Yahoo Web Radio Avoid Big Licensing Fees
Personalized Internet radio stations got a boost Friday when a federal appeals court ruled that Yahoo’s LAUNCHcast music service was not interactive enough to be forced to pay hundreds of millions of US dollars in licensing fees. The court said LAUNCHcast did not offer its users so much control over selecting songs for personalized Internet radio stations that the users would choose those webcasts over buying music.
