Oops. Come to think of it, I believe that internet radio folks are barred from playing more than three songs in a row by a particular artist. Can I get around that by playing some 'Bob Dylan' and some 'Bob Dylan and The Band'? Hmm.

# The webcast is not limited to particular users who pay for it (that's the ``non-subscription'' part.)
# The user must not be able to choose and receive a particular recording: that is, no playing songs on demand.
# In a three hour period, you can't play more than three tracks from a given album, and no more than two consecutively.
# In a three hour period, you can't play more than four tracks by a given artist, and no more than three consecutively.
# If the webcast is archived, the archive must be at least five hours long, and must not be made available for more than two weeks. The idea here is to make it hard for users to scan through the webcast to pick out and save individual songs.
# If the webcast repeats itself (plays in a loop) then the loop must be at least three hours long.
# The webcast must not publish prior announcements of the songs: you can't let the users know what songs are coming up next, and you can't publish your playlists ahead of time.
# You must identify the song title, album title, and the featured artist in text during the performance of the song.
# You must not ``encourage'' users to copy or record the music that you are playing, and you must ``disable copying by users if in possession of technology capable of doing so.''

Sorry, folks, but I've got to get to work, and so that's all for now.

Here's the (short) playlist:

Bob Dylan - A Fool Such as I
Bob Dylan - Paths of Victory
Shirley Caesar - Gotta Serve Somebody
Bob Dylan - I'm Not There
Bob Dylan and The Band - This Wheel's on Fire
Cassandra Wilson - Shelter From the Storm
Bob Dylan and The Band - Crash on the Levee
Magokoro Brothers - My Back Pages

So I'm kinda presuming that, from a playlist limitations perspective, 'Bob Dylan' is a distinct artist from 'Bob Dylan and The Band.' Right? Wrong?

"Crash on the Levee"

I have never, ever been on a levee, and I resent the implication.

IANAIPL, but I think it kinda violates the spirit of the law while arguably preserving the letter.

Arguably because these are unquestionably part of Dylan's repertoire but they were also some of the most collaborative work of his career. *Dan tries to derail thread*

Crash, I seem to remember you driving me to the levee in your Chevy. I'm not sure, though--we were pretty drunk.

No thanks, I'd rather have several consecutive unaesthetized root canals.
