http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/69982Talking Heads frontman David Byrne laments his run-in with the RIAA & DMCA over at his website (via Boing Boing). Apparently a Byrne webcast featured more than 4 tracks by one artist in a three-hour period, violating the DMCA. "Back in the day I used my boom box to tape things off the radio all the time — that’s how I found out about music I didn’t know about, and eventually I not only bought those records, but ended up promoting them, too."

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

Broadcasting 4 songs by the same artist in 3 hours is a violation of the DMCA. This is the rule that allows Internet radio stations to broadcast royalty free.
Yeah, it's stupid, but there it is.
