I watched a rerun on C-SPAN of a hearing that took place a couple or three weeks ago WRT the new legislation Congress is planning to hit us with that concerns the RIAA and others.
The new RIAA guy took the extremely strong position that if you record a radio show (from Sirrius or a similar source) to timeshift it, and you only listen to parts of the show, like listening to your favorite music cut a zillion times without listening to the entire show, you are in violation of what the RIAA considers to be the license to listen to the (Sirrius) show.
What a load of manure!
(I know nothing of Sirrius; is it still in operation?)
yup. and some of the digital TV stuff is out of this world too. but they've bought enough influence in congress to get this stuff passed, the consumer has little to no voice.
