Upon further review...
since the streams are Shoutcast, the internet radio stations most likely *do* have broacast rights. However, I've never heard of RIAA giving a radio station license to broadcast over the internet in a format that allows downloading for storage and later playback. That's why it's always streaming in a format that doesn't allow saving.
Shoutcast, as originally designed, does not allow you to save the broadcast. This software enables you to do that. Therefore it's illegal under the DMCA, i.e. you're running software that circumvents copy protection. I'm not saying I agree with the law, I'm not saying don't do it, I'm just saying, it's illegal. :x
