Any Internet Radio station, that is acting as a non-interactive
station, has to pay royalties, and this includes the HD channels - the
HD channels are addressed here. Internet Radio stations will have to
pay a royalty for every HD song that is streamed PER LISTENER, and
there is no revenue coming in for the HD channels. Now, with HD
radios not selling, this just gives new stations more reason not to
sign up for HD Radio !

HD is not broadcast via the internet.

HD rates are separate, and DRM rates apply for digital radio broadcast, not
Internet streams.
