[BC] RIAA and Copying

[Kevin Trueblood]

For the record, Scott Studios (a.k.a. Google's SS32) has gotten out of the 
music business.  You can't call them up, order a system, and get a 
pre-loaded library.  When Google took over their lawyers wanted nothing to 
do with that.

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.....
