David Battino of O'Reilly Digital Media has an audio interview with Webjay founder Lucas Gonze.

Listen as the creative programmer behind the Webjay playlist service explains how he waltzed around the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and why he thinks these heavy-handed restrictions on art could doom our culture.
