       ``(7) The `sound recording performance complement' is the 
    transmission during any 3-hour period, on a particular channel 
    used by a transmitting entity, of no more than--
                ``(A) 3 different selections of sound recordings 
            from any one phonorecord lawfully distributed for public 
            performance or sale in the United States, if no more 
            than 2 such selections are transmitted consecutively; or
                ``(B) 4 different selections of sound recordings--
                      ``(i) by the same featured recording artist; 
                  or
                      ``(ii) from any set or compilation of 
                  phonorecords lawfully distributed together as a 
                  unit for public performance or sale in the United 
                  States,
            if no more than three such selections are transmitted 
            consecutively:
    Provided, That the transmission of selections in excess of the 
    numerical limits provided for in clauses (A) and (B) from 
    multiple phonorecords shall nonetheless qualify as a sound 
    recording performance complement if the programming of the 
    multiple phonorecords was not willfully intended to avoid the 
    numerical limitations prescribed in such clauses.

If we plan to submit our report of use to get artists that we play paid, having violations will force us to enter negotiations with the copyright holder directly. WUVT policy is no more than 3 from an album in a 24 hour period which doesn't cover the artist section of this.

Maybe this could show up in search results if it's been played too much lately.

@benjaques looked into log submissions, apparently they don't require timestamps.

Trackman could send a friendly reminder to DJs when they log out if they exceed this if we want to prepare for having to be stricter about this in the future.

We should warn, not prevent. This should be a configurable flag.
