Pod-Safe Music Network- a lot of great music that allows us to tell the *RIAA* to go F*ck itself. - MixedSpleens, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2As much as I hate to say this, Radio stations get permission, most podcasters don't go through the trouble of getting it so in one way Artists have a reason to sue.
And people can try to claim fair use, but if you actually look at what the recording industry conciders fair use its pretty narrow.
Are they right in what they do? suing the little guy, I would say no.
Do they have the law on their side, totally.
But I think if your brodcasting you should get permission, or find Creative Commons stuff. Just as long as the author intends to let you use it. - twalker294, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2All this crap is just getting silly. What about recording songs off the radio? I could do that with my cassette player in the '80s -- nobody bitched about it then. All the greed and lack of education regarding technology is getting on my nerves....
- digital_ice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think people read the headline and don't bother to read the content before digging it.
- shorgs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2MPAA or RIAA? One is the Motion Picture Association of America, the other is the Recording Industry Association of America.
They said major recording labels, which could be the RIAA or not. - psyonide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"podcasting is different from radio genius."
No it is not. Podcasts content may be delivered in a different way, but they're basically the same as radio shows.
Podcasters should have to pay fees to use commercial music, the same as everybody else. - Permanent4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2And THAT is why Dave's Lounge sticks to unsigned and indie-label artists -- people that are happy for the exposure and aren't so paranoid about licensing and royalties issues. Who needs the Big Five when you can get you can get into the same online stores as the big name artists for less than $100? (http://digg.com/music/Get_your_music_on_iTunes_CHEAP_)
- G-RaZoR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1RIAA isn't a record label.
- PacoBell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I digg this for the article, but the story title blows ;)
- tryferos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is just more proof that no matter what RIAA & MPAA try they can't stop technology. And of course instead of working on quick, feasible solutions to help promote this, the will likely just sue everyone they can. And I just love the quote "we are just looking out for the artists". Yeah, right. When will these morons get it that they need to catch up with technology and not try to fight it.
- Omnutia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Soooo, look at it like this. If you have access to pod casting and the minimum requirements of say... an intelligence quoter of 10+ then you may have noticed there are far easier ways of pirating tracks than going to the lenghty process of ripping a song apart and removing the voice over. P2P exists for a reason.
This is just getting silly, why don't they just see it as advertising and just ask to put in the iTunes link into the rss feed. - Killerdeath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1MPAA will probably sue him too . . .
- djtripp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have to agree with MixedSpleens.
Radio stations, bars, almost any place with a DJ have to pay ASCAP fees to play music in a public venue.
I know some pod-casters specially use free loops, demo loops from people who want exposure, etc. - bobetr, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1I think its RIAA, but either way its stupid because I would think that the podcasts get more people to go out and buy the music, the podcasts dont give ot the whole songs usually just clips, the same as in itunes. They are so retarded.
- kidlinux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Surprise surprise. I saw this ***** coming when podcasts were first announced. Who didn't?

The RIAA didnt bitch, because they had a tax on cassettes. - Smokezz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15 years from now, bands won't be signing with companies associated with the RIAA, and the RIAA will fade off into oblivion. Good riddance.
- andy78, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1there are ways of encoding radio signals, it seems that it would take the same ammount of effort to edit a podcast to rip-off music as it would to encode the radio signal.
when are they going to learn that you have to move with technology, and not against it? - skyeandangus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I came across this months ago. You see, many national broadcasters (Rush Limbaugh, etc) let you download poscasts of their programs. Suddenly, when you downloaded a podcast, all the music was gone, and many of the comedy skits made no sense. They had to remove all music for RIAA defense purposes. I think this totally blows out fair use policies. Odly enough, it only counts towards podcasts, which are recorded. You can stream recorded programs and they are as aired.
- p3ngu1n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In terms of the law, podcasting is no different than radio. (In fact, it should be a little more stringent because you are giving out a file which can be played again and again, as opposed to a radio show that a user would have to specifically record to replay the content) But, the recording industry also has not provided any way to easily or effectively produce liccenses for the music. To be in a podcast, it definitely should be authorized and licensed. You can't just put someone else's work on your podcast and exclaim that it's OK because it's not the radio. That's just stupid. Grow up. We have these things called laws...

Radio Shark

- daub815, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0How the heck did this get to the front page when the wrong group is mentioned in the title?
- socket, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Mentally speaking its about eight.
- trueshadow21, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I think this idiot means RIAA
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3The MPAA doesn't own music, dumbass. The article has nothing to do with the MPAA.
- vikramkr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0MPAA...you got to be kidding...
- zelphi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0You make the slashdot crowd look like a bunch of MacArthur Fellows.
- Logik, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0reported as "lame" since this really is lame. the poster couldn't even get his facts or acronyms straight.. screw this post.. damn
- mercury81, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0podcasting is different from radio genius.
- b0urn3, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0^^jargon:
you can't be serious about that avatar - zelphi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0What's the average age around here? It can't be over 15.
