Just thought of something else. What about rebroadcasting
politicians? I know you can use the words of politicians freely, but
do you have to record their words yourself?


More difficult to answer since many political things are done through
a pool. CNN, for instance, is the Republican Convention originator.

The practical issue is whether or not the feed can be traced to its
source and that source objects to it being used by anyone other than
those licensed to do so.

Where will you get your feed? From a radio station? They also have a
say in how their material can be used.

Whenever you use material you're not licensed to use you risk heavy
duty litigation.
