Headphones or not, this is idiocy.
Since when was the radio (or any personal sound system) regarded as a “public performance” device??

When this whole copyright nightmare started to become a topic, we all joked about it having the potential to “outlaw the radio”, but never dreamed these groups would actually take it that far. At the time, the radio was still a key promotional vehicle for music (mostly the RIAA stuff, mind you), so I guess we figured they wouldn’t be stupid enough to bite a hand that was feeding them.

This, like so many other things they’ve done, proves us wrong on that again.

Does this include headphones and the use of iPod’s while at work? If so, they can stuff it because that is NOT public performance!

Many people stream or listen to music via headphones or even CD’s at work, virtually none in their cubes have music audible as it would disturb others.

So if SOCAN is reading, PISS OFF! There is NO public performance when headphones are in use! Try to extract money and we’ll sue your butts back to where you belong!
