Music industry seeks digital radio limits

[Apoptosis]

WASHINGTON - Digital radio broadcasts that bring CD-quality sound to the airwaves could lead to unfettered song copying if protections are not put in place, a recording-industry trade group warned on Friday.

RIAA officials said digital-radio players could soon allow listeners to record certain songs automatically when they are broadcast, allowing they to build a free library of music they otherwise might pay for and distribute it to millions of others over the Internet.

Under restrictions proposed by the RIAA, listeners would be able to record digital broadcasts for later playback, but would not be able to divide that broadcast up into individual songs. Listeners would also not be able to program their players to record certain songs, or redistribute those recordings over the Internet.

Here goes the RIAA again... A day late and a buck short... Well maybe not a buck short.

They are so stupid...............for some reason they think that they can control the entire digital world and that everyone has to bend over and take it from them..........

I think the greedy bastards could solve the whole problem by putting out quality products, not one good song on a 10 song $18 disk, people are getting tired of it

I already tried to call them and let them know that the only thing that keeps me from pirating music is free internet radio. Because i can find exactly what i want to listen to streaming 24hrs off the net there is no reason for me to download music. its too much effort to find what im looking for on bt and i dont want to use kazza as its full of viri and other crap. I will be calling the RIAA again on monday to let them know that this is a bad idea. O and they dont have an email guess people were a little pissed off at them. and Capper im with you 100% on that. there is no good music comming out and they are expecting top dollar for crap.
