Fired for infringing on the public domain


A radio DJ in Troy, NY was fired for airing public domain material in violation of, er, copyright? Master of Whose Domain: “Dennis Karius, a former host of The Portside on WRPI public radio, recently found out just what sort of a climate of fear the recent media and legal attention to copyright violations has spawned. Earlier this year, he lost his radio show as a result of airing audio that he recorded off his television from C-SPAN.”
