1. COPYING
The Dividing Line Broadcast network uses streaming
media technology to deliver its programs to listeners. The process does not
save a copy of the file on the user's computer. Capture, reproduction,
retransmission or rebroadcast of any Dividing Line program content or portion
thereof by any means is strictly prohibited. Our live audio feed
and archived programs have been encoded to inhibit recording. The settings we
use for our audio feed result in the best compromise between download speed
and sound quality. However,
the sound is nowhere near CD quality and therefore should not attract copying
and redistribution.
2. PROFIT/LOSS
The Dividing Line Broadcast network is not a commercial
venture. None of our broadcasters are paid. In fact, they all contribute toward
the costs of maintaining the server and the Internet connection. In order to
fund some of
the expenses The Dividing Line attempts to earn commissions on the sales of
products through associations with retailers such as Amazon.com. No products or services are sold
directly by The Dividing Line, and The Dividing Line is not responsible for
any loss, damage, or dissatisfaction resulting from the purchase of any
product or service provided by any vendor with whom the station may have an
affiliation agreement . From time to time The Dividing Line may also conduct
pledge campaigns whereby listeners will be offered an opportunity to
contribute a financial donation toward the station's operating costs.
For information on how to make a financial contribution to
The Dividing Line, please see the Donations
page.
3. FILE SHARING
The Dividing Line does not advocate or participate in file sharing.
Copies of music files are not made available to the public. All pre-recorded
content used during live broadcasts resides on the individual broadcaster's
computers or on devices or media located within their premises and is
therefore beyond the control of The Dividing Line. Broadcasters are solely
responsible for all content aired on their shows. The Dividing Line's policy
is that no person, broadcaster or listener shall use any of the station's
resources to advocate or participate in file sharing. These resources include
the broadcast server, it's storage devices, DLNet IRC Chat, The Dividing Line
E-mail List, or Dividing Line E-mail accounts. Using any of these
resources for the purpose of arranging the exchange of unauthorized
duplications is prohibited.
5. GOOD CITIZENSHIP
The Dividing Line chat room is intended to be a place where people can have
fun and enjoy conversing with others in a safe environment while listening to
the audio feed. Inappropriate behavior cannot be tolerated.
