Later I went in to delete the audio file posted and submit one with a very slight correction, changing "MSNBC" to "NBC." When I uploaded the edited file, however, I got a message asking me to verify that it didn't violate FCC copyright laws and that it was "broadcast ready" or something like that. I clicked. OK, but then it neither posted nor showed me another check box to affirm what it had asked. I wound up having to repost the whole story. Does anyone have any clues about how to avoid this?

Website: http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/FreedomOpinion/Pages/OpinionIndex.aspx Link to Access Full Special Rapporteur 2017 Report to the UN Human Rights Council: http://ap.ohchr.org/documents/dpage_e.aspx?si=A/HRC/35/22 UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Freedom of Expression Demands Urgent Boost for Online Rights Amidst Rampant State Censorship GENEVA (12 June 2017) ? Urgent action is needed to safeguard people?s online rights in the face of unprecedented and worsening State clampdowns, a United Nations human rights expert has warned in a new report . Governments and companies should act now to tackle major threats such as the deliberate shutdown of internet access, censorship and data collection, said David Kaye, Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, as he presented his report to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. ?States are denying internet and telecommunications access in blunt and unprecedented ways,? Mr. Kaye said. ?They are shutting down - or demanding that third parties shut down - services, including in times of public protest and mass dissent. Many are demanding that service providers retain and share user data. Still others are rolling back much-needed protections for net neutrality,? he noted. Mr. Kaye added: ?In short, State censorship and surveillance targeting the foundations of the internet and telecommunications infrastructure often have a crippling effect on everyone?s right to seek, receive and impart information.? The report finds that governments are increasingly relying on telecommunications companies, internet service providers, and other parties to suppress and monitor expression online. But it also warns that the industry is contributing of its own accord to restricting freedom of expression, for example by interfering with net neutrality. ?Private sector firms are critical to the future of freedom of expression, as providers of internet and telecommunications access to hundreds of millions of people worldwide,? said the UN expert. ?Whether under protest, in silent acquiescence, or as willing participants, the private sector has often facilitated some of the most troubling trends in online censorship and surveillance,? he pointed out. ?States must take steps to resist requests or demands that lead to unlawful, unnecessary, or disproportionate interference with digital access,? the human rights expert stressed. In an increasingly hostile environment for individual users and groups, the report outlines a series of steps that the digital access industry can take to identify, prevent, and mitigate risks to freedom of expression and related human rights. ?As suppliers of a service which should be provided for the public good, digital access firms have a special responsibility to safeguard the freedom of expression of millions of internet users worldwide,? Mr. Kay said. ?Basic steps such as due diligence, responsible design choices and transparency go a long way in protecting the rights and safety of users.? The report follows a year of study and consultation with governments, civil society, academics and technical experts worldwide. It is part of a series of studies conducted by the Special Rapporteur for the Human Rights Council that includes work on encryption and anonymity and freedom of expression on the internet . Mr. Kaye will soon be inviting submissions for forthcoming studies on the regulation of expression on private internet platforms, especially social media networks and search engines. *Mr. David Kaye* (USA) was appointed as Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression in August 2014 by the UN Human Rights Council. As Special Rapporteur, Mr. Kaye is part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. Special Procedures, the largest body of independent experts in the UN Human Rights system, is the general name of the Council?s independent fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms that address either specific country situations or thematic issues in all parts of the world. Special Procedures? experts work on a voluntary basis; they are not UN staff and do not receive a salary for their work. They are independent from any government or organization and serve in their individual capacity. _________________________________________________ - To unsubscribe, send a new email addressed to: imail at lists.wunrn.com, with the message: unsubscribe WUNRN_LISTSERVE - To contact the list's administrator, send an email addressed to: WUNRN_LISTSERVE-owner at lists.wunrn.com -- Frieda Werden, Series Producer WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service www.wings.org From wrirmax at gmail.com Fri Jun 16 12:20:58 2017 From: wrirmax at gmail.com (Max) Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2017 15:20:58 -0400 Subject: [grc] WHERE do DIY'ers go for your electronic parts now that insane management killed Radio Shack ?

I think there may be a gray area if there is a company slogan, since I have heard what sounded to me noncompliant underwriting on big NPR stations, but I would recommend drawing a firm line. It is common to give a phone nimber or address. I also think your station should have a strict policy on length. Possibly there is a legal limit, but I do nit know that. NFCB should know.

Consultations and more information available on-line at HomeCeartions.com. The original message is too long to fit into a 15 second spot. Without rushing, read the above aloud and time yourself. This is just about right for 15 seconds. Another difficulty with overly long messages is that the core information tends to become lost. What you want the listener to remember are three important points: 1. Who it is that is supporting their favorite programming. 2. What it is that they offer. 3. How to get in touch with them I would leave off the "w w w dot" on the URL. It takes up time, it is unnecessary to type it in to your browser, and it is inferred when you state that the contact is "on-line". Also "visit our website at" is a call to action. "More information available on-line at HomeCeartions.com" achieves the same purpose without that specific conflict. A last couple of points. The FCC restricts nonprofits from running advertising. So, a slogan can be allowed as long as it is not coercive or a call to action, and it is demonstrable that this is a longstanding slogan of the underwriter. I would avoid using a music bed. While not specifically prohibited, that is one of the easiest ways to make your announcement sound exactly like an advertisement. And commercial advertising is precisely one of the things that your listeners are tuning in to your station to avoid.

If you want to broadcast the concert live from the stage, that will primarily have to be approved by the artist management company and for an artist that big they will not be enthused about it. The venue would be the least of your problems for that. All artists above garage bands have contract riders with venues that specifically prohibit recording them live from stage. The bigger the artist, the more the venue must cater to them to get the gig and then keep them and their booking agency happy so they and other artists with the same agency keep playing there. We've had a lot of venues here get blackballed for a variety of reasons, so it's a real concern. But if it's an interview you want, that's also handled by the band management, specifically the promotions team. They will typically want that earlier in the day to help get more people to the show. Again, artists above garage bands get a percentage of the door proceeds after breakeven so the higher the turnout, the more money they make. This comes from experience of putting on concerts for 10+ years of all sizes. It's a strange industry not well understood.

Wondering if there is any problem posting playlists next to those archives, under the statutory license? I know you aren't supposed to post playlists in advance of "noninteractive" transmissions, i.e. "live streaming" - wondering about the 2 week archive, for those that post those. thanks!
