first of all, it would be helpful if others read the fine details on the above, since i may have misinterpreted somethings. it's a bit confusing for me, but overall, yes, the RIAA collects royalties even for free music. > > > find references here: > > http://www.freepress.net/news/22887 > > So how does it affect my Internet radio station with artists from, say, > Europe, server based in Germany and promoters based in India?

IANAL, but it's surprising how things can be tracked down and shut down if somone wants to do it. remember apple's fairplay controversy? could someone check with lawrence liang what's the take on this? i don't know. :-) niyam _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
