If I may jump in I was just curious to know how this impacts Independent Music? I'm a music producer and I've worked with independent artist from all over the world. But I only play music submitted by Independent artists (NO major label affiliation) do the same rules apply?
Following up on this -- the DMCA limits apply to any published music recording, regardless of whether it's a on a major label or from an independent artist.
I don't know how this will apply to RB http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act but I think this for DRM and stuff if you think RB has DRM, then I don't know also you can buy a license to play in the public so DMCA has nothing to do with this, please explain DMCA and their involvement with RB an the PGP? I am Canadain and dont understand DMCA's involvement.
Some confusion here, I think. DMCA has nothing to do with DRM (digital rights management). Also, DMCA, being a bill passed by the US Congress, has nothing to do with Internet stations not located in the United States. But it definitely *does* involve all copyrighted music played by US Internet radio stations.
