Digital radio broadcasts that bring CD-quality sound to the airwaves could lead to unfettered song copying if protections are not put in place, RIAA has warned. Players already on the market in Europe, such as Pure Digital’s “The Bug,” allow users to pause and rewind broadcasts and record them digitally.
Under restrictions proposed by the RIAA, listeners would be able to record digital broadcasts for later playback, but would not be able to divide that broadcast up into individual songs.
