Internet Radio Day of Silence

Posted by michael on from the hello-darkness-my-old-friend dept.

headless_ringmaster writes "TechTV's ScreenSavers today aired their interview with Wolf FM's Steve Wolf on the CARP bill and how it'll destroy Internet Radio. The Internet Radio Day of Silence is a day of protest for Internet Radio stations to get the word out on the issue. This has been talked about on /. before, but it's very nice to see a significant television/media company like TechTV use their broadcasting advantage to help the little guys, especially when they're up against monied interests." May 1 is Labor Day throughout most of the world except the U.S.; a good choice for internet radio stations to try to get out their message.

      Looks like ITV digital are supporting this too, as I'm getting the same sort of message. ;)

    Now... how gives a fuck about Internet radio. Isn't that just a waste of bandwidth?

    What's to keep mimes from capturing the music stream, burning mp3's of it, and then sharing it on KaZaA? Until we can eliminate piracy of silence, I seriously doubt we'll get the record industry to shut up.

    Have you ever read the EULA of MPAA or RIAA material? Almost always they mention public broadcasts as prohibited.

    I'll suspend my disbelief that EULAs have any legal weight at all, and ask where i would find this EULA? I don't recall needing to read, sign or even click through anything while playing my CDs.
