During the 2000s, DI.FM participated in a number of protests against high royalty fees for Internet radio.[12][13][14] In July 2009, Digitally Imported, radioIO and AccuRadio reached a revenue-sharing deal with royalty collector SoundExchange securing music rights.[15][16][17] It also licenses out its own proprietary streaming platform to power other internet radio sites such as RadioTunes (formerly sky.fm[18]),[19] JazzRadio,[20] RockRadio,[21] ClassicalRadio[22] and ZenRadio.[23] DI.FM ended its free options in December 2024, becoming a subscription-only service.[24]
