[vorbis] Streaming Considerations.

[Scott Manley]

interesting..... of course... if  it were interactive content then
recording would be illegal..... but the RIAA have made interactive
broadcasts illegal -  therefore there's no reason for encrypted/controled
streams ;-)

(so.... given the non-interactiove rules - does this mean if I send a
request to an internet station to play every track on  their playist that
they cannot play anything for  at least an hour after receiving my mail?)
