The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) was passed by Congress and details the rules regarding Internet broadcasts that are eligible for compulsory licenses. Below is a partial list of the rules that us broadcasters need to pay attention to. We have abbreviated these rules to include only those that likely would be relevant. The relevant rules which you must carefully review are as follows:
- Our program must not be part of an “interactive service.” For our purposes, this means that we cannot perform sound recordings within one hour of a request by a listener or at a time designated by the listener.
- In any three-hour period, we should not intentionally program more than three songs (and not more than two songs in a row) from the same recording; you should not intentionally program more than four songs (and not more than three songs in a row) from the same recording artist or anthology/box set.
- Continuous looped programs may not be less than three hours long.
Rebroadcasts of programs may be performed at scheduled times as follows:
- Programs of less than one-hour: no more than three times in a two-week period.
- Programs longer than one hour: no more than four times in any two-week period.
We should not publish advance program guides or use other means to pre-announce when particular sound recordings will be played.
We should only broadcast sound recordings that are authorized for performance in the United States.
We should pass through (and not disable or remove) identification or technological protection information included in the sound recording (if any).

Please don’t ask us to try and circumvent these rules, because they are not only rules, but are law in the United States.
