[BC] RIAA and Copying

[Tom]

I SERIOUSLY doubt this will stand up - for one, music syndicator 
service(s) like Jone Radio Networks and Scott Studios (whatever name 
it's going by) would be put out of business - as would many, many radio 
stations.  Almost ALL of them have copied their music to hard drive for 
automation / live assist.  This has become reduxio ad absurdum... 

Sounds like it's time for radio stations to start auditioning house 
musicians and band leaders.....
