Information about Youtube and WMG and what's going on.

and ESPECIALLY if it was a cop. If they have their radio up so high that the public can hear it?? I mean what kind of information is published by that? PRIVATE info. Definitely NOT copyright infringement, but it IS something the public shouldn't be privy to.

I believe it's more of a public disturbance matter than a copyright matter. I'd always been taught to keep the music down even before copyrights came into question (afaik, since the mid 90's is when I first heard a rule like this) Now obviously it's become much stricter, but the root is public disturbance, copyright infringement would be a much weaker angle to take.

I mean if I were a lawyer I'd have them booked on public disturbance charges .

They had a radio going in the station loud enough so that someone in the building itself could hear it (i.e. "on"). It didn't have to be loud, simply audible for more than X(I think it was 8) people and being played in a public building - police stations qualify for that.

So in England, if I were to play my iPod at a volume high enough that the person sitting next to me can hear it, it's a copyright violation?

IANAL, but since people have been fined for such things, i'd say yes.

The point is that it still costs money, and you have to get up and go to the story unless they just mail it to you, but then you have to wait for it to arrive (maybe a day). And I know internet costs money but you don't just use it to watch illegally downloaded movies. It's used for so much more.

If you play it to horses it's a copyright violation too.
