Mercora: a P2P radio network

Denise Howell has a roundup of copyright issues, centering on TiVo, the FCC, Mercora and Open Media. (Denise is a member of the Open Media wiki.)

Denise outlines Mercora this way:

Mercora is a P2P network that lets users tune in and listen, radio style, to the music on one another's hard drives, without copying or distributing copyrighted works. Mercora's webcasts are licensed under the DMCA, and the company also takes care of applicable reporting and royalty requirements. Mercora tells users how to comply with non-interactive webcast rules (e.g., by not pre-announcing the time or order of specific programming), and turns them loose. The service also supports digital image sharing (both viewing and downloading), with video soon to come.
