Igualmente agradecida a Andy Ramos, abogado especializado en Propiedad Intelectual, que me ha aportado sus conocimientos para el desarrollo de esta investigación con total diligencia. No quiero olvidarme, por supuesto de los funcionarios de Tercer Ciclo, a los que he acudido, tal vez, en demasiadas ocasiones, y que con igual paciencia, disposición y amabilidad siempre han estado ahí para ayudarme.

Cartert Scott Lunttt ABSTRACT With the relative democratization of broadcast communication brought about by the new media technologies of podcasting and Internet broadcasting, new questions have arisen regarding appropriate legal standards for regulatory efforts. In particular, Internet broadcasters and podcasters collide with licensing agencies responsible for implementing U.S. and foreign copyright law. Media convergence has caused confusion amongst policymakers, industry professionals and the public with respect to the application of traditional copyright law to these new technologies. This article explores how congressional legislation and federal court jurisprudence, combined with the efforts of private licensing agencies such as ASCAP, BMI and SoundExchange, impact the t Assistant professor of communications, Brigham Young University; ID., Brigham Young University, 2003; M.S.

Back then, online to the average user meant a telephone connection directly to either another computer or to an online service, such as CompuServe or AOL. The Internet now dominates all online activity. In popular parlance, the Internet is synonymous with the World Wide Web, although it is much more, as we’ll explain in this book. The Internet can be described generally as a “network” of networks. It is a transportation vehicle for applications. In fact, the visual representations of the Net look like a road map. If lines are drawn between each connection, between larger and larger connections, and between smaller and smaller ones, the end result is a web of connections—a virtual road map. This book is divided into four rough sections. The first is for beginners. It is to get anyone up to speed quickly with the information needed about the Web. Each chapter has recommended Web sites (to type the address, or Uniform Resource Locator [URL] into your Web browser) to help direct you. The second section has more detailed information about downloads, email, secu- rity, and information on virus protection. The third part is about how to create a Web site, Web tools, blogging, and what you can add to your Web site (such as streaming media, RSS feeds, and XML, among other things). The fourth part is by far the densest.

    FULL AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION With Everyone (by myself) Episode 0001: 15 Years of Podcasting Host: Shawn Thorpe Web link 00:00 This month marks my fifteen year anniversary of podcasting. I am pretty sure I published my first episode January twenty seven. It's not a terribly exciting story. But I don't know that I've ever told the in depth story of how I started. 00:26 In summer Two Thousand Four, I launched my first real website with a domain name. That's phantom power dot org; still exists but doesn't really do anything other than handle my e-mail. I had this idea at the time of just recording radio shows as MP3 files and just posting them on my website and just kind of see, "Hey if anybody find some, great." That idea grew out of the fact fact that I'd been publishing music on the internet for a few years and really in one way or the another, publishing on the internet since ninety seven and I had this idea to do radio shows. I had enough gear already. I had the know how to record audio because I've been doing it with music for a few years and you know I had a cup of coffee in radio back in nineteen ninety six, because I went to broadcasting school from ninety five into ninety six. Got an internship at WABT FM. Eventually worked on air there. Up until the point when the radio station went off air. It was bought out by a Spanish radio conglomerate and they pretty much turned it into a robo station.
