The IFPA, a group similar to the RIAA, has proposed a logo to identify CDs that include anti-copying features. Cnet notes that the group is saying the logo, which would appear either as part of the CD’s cover artwork or as a sticker, would help customers know that they are purchasing CDs with technology that prevents the discs from being digitally copied or downloaded. I’m all for this. If they include the sticker I know exactly what not to purchase.
The Linux Journal is reporting that The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), following its annual radio meeting in Seattle, has filed a motion with the U.S. Copyright Office asking for a limited stay on webcasting royalties for licensed broadcasting facilities, pending an appeal. It seems that even the big broadcasters don’t want their streams taxed off the Net.
