Who is stealing ?? The bottom line here is the stations that actually make money out of this are not paying anything to the copyright holders and are operating apparently within the confines of the law of the land. So where would you like to start ?? And there is no charge for anyone to type www.yradio.ug apart from what is paid to the ISP for the access. So yradio does not make money out of this process. This however does not indemnify yradio from the copyright discussion. As has been earlier stated lets look at the wider picture and fix the problem at the right point. Innovation and copyright have always met at cross roads and some amicable compromise has always been the key to moving forward. The GPL agreement you keep on stressing was a compromise position arrived at at allow for innovation in the open source movement.
