Re: Downloading music at work

[Buz Dale <buz.dale () USG EDU>]

I'd be worried about other licensing issues.  From BMI:

When you purchase a record, tape, CD or mp3 the purchase price covers
your private listening right only. Once you decide to play these in
public - such as in a restaurant, bar, café or telephone music-on-hold
service - it becomes a "public performance." The copyright owners of
musical works have the exclusive right of public performance. Therefore,
any public performances by others require permission.

Not that I like it.  I just think it should be considered.
