Re-BBC Radio Story: If this is music broadcast over the radio, hasn’t the radio station already paid the royalties for public performance?

Sounds like the UK version of RIAA wants to double dip.

Man, I thought RIAA was greedy. OY!

Regarding the Armenian matter, why is it the US government's responsibility to care? Even the World Court has no real jurisdiction, why should a national legislative body from a nation that wasn't even at war with either Armenia or the Ottoman Empire have any? This is one of those debates that makes me ask whether they have anything better to do. Isn't there some Texas judge they could debate impeaching that day?

Not so in many European countries, where (Jewish) Holocaust denial laws forbid open discourse on that topic. The permission slip is only granted for certain versions.
