The Digital Millennium Copyright Act
September 28th, 2009 at 08:06am
Some useless information to start your week. Due to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, it is illegal for radio stations in the US to play a song within an hour of it being requested by a listener online. Presumably, this is only for radio stations which have a webstream, and for songs which were not already scheduled to play within an hour of said request…but who knows? And who really wants to try it?
More importantly, how the heck do you enforce that law? There better not be a government minion public servant locked in a small dark room ensuring compliance.
