Two Quick Points Re: Adam Curry
This Adam Curry post on podcasting and music licensing (via JP). A very rough quick response:
1. Perhaps a streaming show would be a performance, but not a downloadable podcast. That’s a reproduction, if not also a distribution.
2. For that reason alone, you’d also need rights from the owner in the sound recording (e.g., the record label). Even if it were merely a performance, you’d still need that authorization. Unlike for analog performances, sound recording copyright owners have a right for digital performances.
