really clear that Bush didn't give a flying fuck about public opinion.
public opinion for the war has been hovering around 70%. maybe bush does give a flying fuck about public opinion, since over 2/3rds of the people in america support him.
i come from more of an idm / drum and bass background, so my picks might be a little more biased:) i like music from these labels: warp: my personal favorite. quite possibly the largest electronic label out there. artists include autechre, boards of canada, aphex twin, squarepusher, prefuse 73.... ninjatine: amon tobin (breakbeat jazz), blackalicious (non bling-bling hip hop), and many others. stud!o k7: large variety here. they've got everything from idm to breakbeat to jungle to...you name it. great stuff
disclaimer: i edited the letter a bit for length. yes, i am a dj at the station. no, i'm not pimping us in any way;-)
So the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel released their recommendations for how radio stations should pay if they stream over the internet. the actual release is here (http://www.loc.gov/copyright/fedreg/2002/67fr5761.pdf). Of course, it's a tough read, so I'll sum it up for you guys, and provide relevant links at the bottom. These rules are *proposed*, and haven't gone into effect yet.
+per performance means "per song / per listener". That means every time one person hears one song, that's a performance. If 12 people listen to a webcast of 12 songs, that's 144 performances.
+epheremal recording means a backup copy of the same song to be used for streaming.
So according to these rules for webcasting, KBVR is a non-commercial broadcaster. We must pay $0.02 for every "performance". 9% of those performance fees will be added on as cost for an epheremal license fee.
So yeah....doesn't sound too bad, does it? Just wait...
Let's do a little math here. I'm assuming that 2.5% of the roughly 20,000 OSU students would listen to KBVR streaming over the internet. I don't even know the real number, so I'm just going to (hopefully) guess low. If any of you could give me better numbers, feel free.
500 listeners x 24 hours/day x 10 "performances" an hour x $0.02 per "performance" ===> $2400 A DAY. That comes out to roughly $875,000 A YEAR if we could webcast under the new rules.
For *each song* webcasted, KBVR would have to report the following information to the primary copyright holders (usually the record label, or to the individual band if you're cool like metallica and dr. dre):
A) The name of the service B) The channel of the program (AM/FM stations use station ID) C) The type of program (archived/looped/live) D) Date of transmission E) Time of transmission F) Time zone of origination of transmission G) Numeric designation of the place of the sound recording within the program H) Duration of transmission (to nearest second) I) Sound recording title J) The ISRC code of the recording K) The release year of the album per copyright notice and in the case of compilation albums, the release year of the album and copyright date of the track L) Featured recording artist M) Retail album title N) The recording label O) The UPC code of the retail album P) The catalog number Q) The copyright owner information R) The musical genre of the channel or program (station format)
That's for EACH SONG WEBCASTED.
On top of that, we will have to provide the following information for *EVERY PERSON* who would listen to us over the internet:
1) The name of the service or entity 2) The channel or program 3) The date and time that the user logged in (the user's timezone) 4) The date and time that the user logged out (the user's timezone) 5) The time zone where the signal was received (user) 6) Unique user identifier 7) The country in which the user received the transmissions
These new proposed rules are pretty damn stupid. That's all I'm going to say.

Maybe they were the same ones who happened to vote for LBJ?

Thanks! I totally didn't notice that ;-) I sent a followup telling everyone I'm stupid :)
