Norwegian Beatles Podcasts Yanked

The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) has removed 212 Beatles podcasts, due to a rights agreement violation with music-label trade group IFPI. Each podcast, from the radio series “Our Daily Beatles”, aired in 2007, featured a different song from the Beatles repertoire, and the series would have effectively given the entire collection away for free.

The NRK had announced on Tuesday that they would make the entire series available for download by the end of the month, and 14 episodes even made it online. However, complications arose after it was revealed in NRK’s rights agreement that the IFPI only allows podcasts from shows broadcasted in the previous four weeks.
