Thread Name: Ethics in archiving?
Subject: RE: Ethics in archiving?
Bob - the same rules would apply.    An assumption is made that if you send out recordings that you have ownership and rights approval - and that is something that would have been discussed before airplay. Should I have played something and received a complaint, it could get sticky - but the reality is the best that could be accomplished would be to cease airplay.

Just to give you an example, I recently received a CD from the State of Florida which contained recordings made at a Florida Folk Festival over the years.    I assume that the rights were cleared and by submission I have permission to play them.
