[BC] Unique fixes to complicated problems

[Alan Kline]

But is it really "rebroadcasting" if the signal is being received from 
an Internet stream? If he was using a boom box to receive the other 
station off-air and feed it into his transmitter, then yes, it's a 
violation. But is it that cut-and-dried when it's an Internet stream? 
What's the difference between a feed from say, Live365.com and a radio 
station's stream, other than that the radio stream would likely have a 
call sign mixed in?

Now music licensing and copyright are a whole different mess...
