I think that would constitute copyright infringement. I may be wrong.

In the EU we have the Information Society Directive which, in short, says that copying music from the radio for private use is permissible if the artists receive a “fair compensation”. In case of a lawsuit against radio music ripping technologies, the whole debate will be about the meaning of the term “fair compensation”. It can be argued that since radio networks pay a fee to artists to use their MATERIAL, they are already paying a “fair compensation”. In the US context the "doctrine of fair use" should make it legal to record songs from the radio for private use. If it were actual radio, it shouldn't be a problem. I don't know how those laws apply to Internet "radio".my mp3 player has an FM radio recorder. So it can record what is currently playing on the station I am listening to.

I WONDER if it is ok to record internet radio for personal enjoyment. Not for resale or anything of that sort. Quote from: quaxo on November 18, 2010, 06:33:17 PM

In Europe and the US I believe it is legal to record, for your own use, broadcasts that you have a right to listen to in the first place, whether they ARRIVE via radio waves, or cable or the internet. It is not legal to resell, redistribute, or rebroadcast the recordings without the permission of the copyright owner.
There is a software program called Replay Music 3. It has a free demo, but it is $20 for the full version.

I think it's pretty much legal if u just wanna record internet radios for your own personal use and don't share it anywhere. I also record music from internet radios to mp3 for my cell phone with some Audials Radiotracker app and never had any problems. Quote from: rowansayer on November 23, 2010, 07:51:31 AM

Curious if that's a cheap shot at an advertisement or what... Quote from: rowansayer on November 23, 2010, 07:51:31 AM

I'm so glad to hear that you 'think' something, therefor it must be the way the law works.

It is the way the law works in the USA and Europe.

True. Generally we have different applicable laws in terms of enforcement. This has always been a question...
The rules in general will be a flaw. In short, it will differ to a point of opinion. Quote from: jason2074 on November 23, 2010, 09:49:38 AM
