Here, 91.1 FM Jersey City WFMU General Manager Ken Freedman discusses the Free Music Archive, an interactive library of legal audio downloads.  If non-commercial radio stations like WFMU provide the public with a free way to listen to music, then the Free Music Archive “provides a legal and technological framework for curators, artists, and listeners to harness the potential of music sharing” on the internet, where we see escalating prohibition of content.  Critically, all content on the site is cleared for use for anyone to remix, broadcast, or podcast.
