If you happen to snag commercials, aren't you entitled to a fee for
"broadcasting" them?

I suspected that's what you meant, I just thought I'd play up the
other
angle ;-)
I have built an instrument in Pure Data that is basically a
live-sampling mellotron: it takes an audio feed, partitions based on
perceived pitch, and maps it to a 12-semitone scale which I can then
play using a MIDI controller keyboard.
I intend to perform by plugging this instrument in to the radio
waves,
using it as a base for building looped improvisations. The radio
is both
a good way of getting fresh and unexpected audio data, rather than
just
relying on prerecorded samples, but also demonstrates virtuosity, one
quality that is often perceived to be missing from laptop
performance.
Question is, how does something like this fall under present
copyright
law?
