7/28 Why are transista' stashuns allowed t'play beat? Stupid quesshun,
yes, but I's interested in de royalty situashun. Can anybody
broadcast beat (assumin' some fcc license) o' are dere rules
regardin' quality degradashun (say fo' internet streamin'
stashuns)?
\_ plannin' some internet transista' stashun?
\_ Not 'esactly. Slap mah fro! But whut's t'stop me fum broadcastin'
at 192mhz and havin' sucka's copy songs dey likes?
\_ ah' see da damn point. But wid Napster, ya' git beat on
demand. Radio, only certain songs git played.
And if it gits popular enough, puh'haps de reco'd
industry gots'ta come and git ya'.
\_ Radio stashuns keep some reco'd uh which songs dey play, and submit
royalties t'ascap o' bmi fo' each play. Slap mah fro!
