Rhetorica: Press-Politics Journal

June 27, 2005

SCOTUS and podcasting…

I’ve been in touch with the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System today asking about how today’s Supreme Court ruling affects podcasting. The answer: The Growl cannot legally offer a podcast of any show that contains copyrighted material. That means it is unlikely that MSU can provide a podcast of Radio Rhetorica. I will, however, edit out the music and post them to Ourmedia.org.

The ruling will have no effect on the Rhetorica Podcast.

    Hmm, you know that’s a good point. I’ll need to think quite a bit about using NPR reports in the future, though I think they’d be safe if used only to critique them…

    Ken…As I understand it, what you’re describing would fall under “fair use.”
