IS Downloading Radio Illegal?

It would be illegal if the "clips" contained more than :10 seconds of copyrighted music. As far as the material being copyrighted by the radio station... that's questionable. The broadcasts are for the public - so any distribution would be fine. UNLESS the program is syndicated and gives a copyright notice during the show that specifically says the program is not to be distributed without consent. Then, as other folks have said, it's illegal if you get caught. Still, in that case, I think it would be the party posting the program and not you. Otherwise, tell mom to enjoy.

Listening, and recording a music off the radio isn't unlawful. What you do with this is and this is in ordinary terms criminal to record songs performed on the radio because of the fact the RIAA has not discovered a thank you to can charge customers for listening or questioning or singing a music. LOL till the internet police can seek your problematicpersistent, i wouldn't difficulty a great deal approximately what track data you have on your laptop or how they have been given there. seize a application like total Recorder or something to record what you pay attention on your laptop, or purchase the track from a acquire source, or do regardless of you opt for to get the track, yet shop it to your self and you'd be criminal. this is the sharing that gets sticky.

I'm not a lawyer, but as long as you don't sell them or charge admission to play them for large groups of people, I think you're ok. Any radio program can obviously be recorded - it's what you do with it that counts.

It's all copyrighted material, but usually OK for private use. It's the person offering it that's probably breaking the law.

If the show has a website, check the terms of use. That may give you a more definitive answer.

Yes it is illegal because all the material is copyrighted to the radio stations but you have to get caught first

Nothing is illegal until you get caught bro.
