Like a rabid animal, RIAA attacks historical "old radio show" archive

"Lets be clear, ReelRadio does in fact have a license to play the music
contained in its unscoped airchecks. However, after years of operating
trouble-free, the RIAA now wants the site to operate strictly within
the parameters of its statutory license. The RIAA has determined that
our service fails to meet the requirements for archived programs,
which must be at least five hours in duration and may not be made
available for more than two weeks. The service must also display the
Title, Artist and Album of each featured song, but only while the
recording is being performed, ReelRadio President Richard Irwin
explains. The problems faced by the site are immediate. Irwin says he
carries no airchecks with a duration of five hours and obviously the
site makes them available for more than two weeks. Also, their
streaming method does not cater to the display of meta-data. Worse
still, it appears the RIAA also wants ReelRadio to do the impossible."

ReelRadio has been providing happiness around the world since 1996. They're
licensed! But the greed of the RIAA knows no bounds. None.
