More info please.
The person who sent this letter is drunk or it's a joke. How do you copyright something that is own by the public in the public domain? (Assuming we are talking about public radio streaming)
"Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U. S. Code) to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works."
Anyone with an IQ two higher than a tree can see that over public air waves on a public owned radio is not in any way shape or form a "...original works of authorship..."Nor is it "...literary, dramatic, musical, artistic..." and it certainlyisn't "... intellectual works..."
Talk about grasping at straws.

He isn't a feed provider and the feeds are still there. Not sure what this is about.

Looked up the feeds he does, both are offline and has the same message in his feed status that he posted. BTW, if you feed anonymously, it does not show up as you being a feed provider(But does show up as being a Prem. Sub.) I guess he canceled his account. As for his message, beats the heck out of me. Sounds like typical Cox BS.

Thomas, if you don't mind, could you please send me a copy of the complaint that was included the message that you received from Cox?
Please email to lindsay@radioreference.com
I'd like to understand further what happened here, who complained, and on what basis of Copyright law they complained.
I'll also send you a message via private email.
