As far as I'm aware, that only applies to broadcast radio and over-the-air TV, not all media.

- runarberg 5y agoI’m not a lawyer but it looks like the law might apply to chromecast as well: > as such recommended practice concerns the transmission of commercial advertisements by a television broadcast station, cable operator, or other multichannel video programming distributor. [emphasis mine] https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-111publ311/html/PLAW-111publ311.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-111publ311/html/PLA... I think it would be worth it to file a complaint. Or if anybody here on HN has done so already, I would be interested in hearing the response. EDIT: Looking at the code (which I’m woefully under-qualified at) I see this: > (13) the term “multichannel video programming distributor” means a person such as, but not limited to, a cable operator, a multichannel multipoint distribution service, a direct broadcast satellite service, or a television receive-only satellite program distributor, who makes available for purchase, by subscribers or customers, multiple channels of video programming; https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/522 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/522 I don’t see how a chromecasting a youtube playlist (human curated or autogenerated) over GoogleTV, does not apply to this definition.
