  • The system has several underlying database tables, including zip codes, cities and station data. The zip code and city tables, in addition to containing information about the locations, also include the latitude and longitude for the centroid each location.
  • At the core, the system works based on latitudes and longitudes.
  • Once we have the latitude and longitude, we perform a series of calculations based on the Great Circle Calcuation (GCC), which helps us to determine distances on a curved surface (ie. the Earth - and we are assuming that it is not flat). Using the GCC, we look for stations near the latitude and longitude, based on a 100 mile radius from that point. From that list of stations, which is too inclusive, we start our process of narrowing down the results to the actual stations that can be heard.

  • the Business Software Alliance is a "far less unpopular organization" than the RIAA. I think the answers are quite illuminating. First, BSA's members have always offered their products for sale to the public, through any channel that wants to sell them. Second, BSA's members are consumer-oriented; they try to develop products that respond to consumers' needs, and not, the reverse: focusing on what they want to sell to consumers.
  • It is true that there have in the past been complaints about the music industry from the public and retailers -- retailers, almost all of whom have been driven out of business. These complaints are though about poor business practices, not business practices. The complaints aren't that the record industry is a business, but that it has been poorly run as a business.
  • The CD is not a fair fight with the download.

  • Third, because consumers can easily purchase BSA's members products, those who copy without paying are simply scofflaws. I think the fact that the public does not object to BSA's campaign proves my point and disproves yours and the music industry's: people do not want things for free; they are willing to pay for them. If people were simply thieves, then they would have an even stronger reaction against the BSA because the price spread between copying and buying is so much vaster than with music.
