Somewhat irrelevant to the legal perspective from India, but while net radio has been spared the guillotine in the US for the nonce, there are disturbing implications to the Faustian bargain^W^Wsettlement that people seem to be making with SoundExchange nee RIAA. Some links of interest: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/005367.php http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/02/061241 http://politics.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/19/1758204 It seems to be that net radio is being coerced into accepting DRM in exchange for the remission of outrageous fees that would put them out of business.
