[grc] Podcast of music shows

[Adrienne Lauby]

For most programmers and producers, the volunteers, the policy Frieda refers to at CJSF (first 
airing on station where it was produced, copyright remains with individual producers) is best.

For those who are paid, the station may have more rights to their material.

I would think that a station has the right to require that their name be taken off any program 
before it is distributed.  Although in today's sharing / community commons / social media world you 
would want to balance any potential liability against the great free advertising / public relations 
the station will get from distribution.
