In the GAP case, I heard (from a typically unreliable local television news program) that the GAP will have to either 1) Pay royalties for the use of copyrighted material as background music when recieved over broadcast media, 2) Stop using the broadcast media, or 3) Buy records and tapes and then play them freely in their stores. Does the third choice make any sense? Shouldn't they pay the same royalties for choice (3) as for choice (1)? The only difference I can see is that in (1), you'd also be playing (possibly copyrighted) commercials, introductions, news broadcasts, etc. Craig Hansen HP Labs ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
