Sony/ATV Music Publishing has instructed the Harry Fox Agency today to stop all future licensing of any of the publisher's repertoire for streaming or limited downloads, Billboard.biz has learned. The move is in response to the Digital Media Assn.'s motion filed yesterday with the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB). In the motion, DiMA argues that an interactive stream is not a digital phonorecord delivery (DPD) and, therefore, should not have to be licensed for reproduction. Music services like RealNetwork's Rhapsody, Napster and MediaNet (formerly known as MusicNet) should be impacted. (Billboard)
