[JPL] Airplay Ethics Question

[jazzhead]

I wouldn't say there's anything ethically wrong with it - you might want to 
make sure you're within the legal boundaries of what you can do since you're 
a program host (as in discussing the CD rather than promoting it - we've 
been told there is a difference during FCC audits)
