A day after Norwegian public radio network NRK announced the release of every Beatle’s song as part of a podcast, lawyers say, Not so fast.
The Beatlemania set was all abuzz earlier this week when NRK announced they’d podcast a series called “Our Daily Beatles.” Each segment was to include a three-minute story of every Beatles song recorded, followed by the actual song, resulting in the first ever opportunity to legally download the Fab Four’s music.
It’s not to be. Apparently NRK ran afoul of their licensing agreement. As Rolling Stone points out:
Norwegian radio law states that “NRK can not podcast programs with foreign music if the radio program was broadcast more than four weeks ago.” Since the original broadcasts of “Our Daily Beatles” was in 2007, this turned out to be an issue.
