Germany's Landesmedienanstalten, stoneage bureaucratic bodies from the age of scarce airwaves, will enact legislation asking every live Internet broadcaster reaching an audience of more than 500 viewers or
listeners to obtain a TV license from the state.
Pre- 1989 Romania, here comes the capitalist control state.

Hi Sanjay,
sorry for the hassle.
I am uploading from a PDA, the E-Mail engine does not seem to work for uploading files, which is why I give the alternate link.
If you could add the media from the MP3 alternate link, I would much appreciate your help.
Greetings,
Markus

I tried to download the file directly from Utterz, but to no avail... I guess if they generated a bazillion podcasts, their bandwidth usage would be through the roof!

Aside from the fact that the Internet is not TV, 500 viewers is a very low threshold.

500 viewers is very low in my opinion. What a strange ruling!

@Tanasha to my knowledge, there is very little to at least stop Bavaria from going ahead with this, starting August 1st.
A debate is developing last minute in the blogosphere, it seems.
