Tough talk on Web radio copying (News.com)

[Posted July 18, 2002 by cook]

News.com reports on efforts by the RIAA to lock down digitally distributed audio. "Mitch Glazier, the association's top lobbyist, said the RIAA is contacting IT and consumer electronics groups to ask them to consider a "broadcast flag" for digital music sent through the Internet, satellite or cable. The RIAA's move seems likely to escalate a bitter war of words between the entertainment industry, some hardware makers and open-source aficionados."
