This is HPR, not the BBC and not a music channel. I too don't like music over the podcast. But then again I don't like any HPR podcast that departs from the 'hacker' part of the name. I currently delete more than I listen to. So, if you are fiddling about with an electric guitar you 'hacked' by restoring it after it was found in a dumpster, then all well and good, if you are showing off your piano thingy that seems to be played by some kind of digital ghost of a long-dead composer geezer, then all well and good. But if you are playing somebody else's music while you whitter on about something not connected with the music that is playing, why is the music there? Leave that to the big broadcasters who are willing to pay to use the stuff. And it is no good saying the equivalent of "publish and be damned" if it is not your head that will roll if it is picked up. Ken and Dave, and probably others, already do more than can reasonably be expected of them for HPR. They certainly don't need any risk, however small, of falling fowl of the DMCA. How much will HPR be damaged if the occasional 'cast is pulled for containing doubtful material? How much will HPR be damaged if hosts just accept they can't play any copyrighted stuff? I suggest hardly at all. Let's keep hacking and stop trying to impersonate the BBC, or NPR. Although it would be hard to convince anybody HPR is the BBC unless we suddenly have Nigel Farage on every podcast. -- Michael A.
