Thanks, RAC aka JR www.phoenixradionetwork.com
This only applies to sites that use copywrited material, correct? A pure political broadcast would not suffer, it appears.
That is correct.
Only stations licensed and paying royalties for using copywrited materials are affected.
Bump!
Let's say I make original indie music on my own label. You have an Internet radio station. If I want, I can give you my music and you can play it without paying any royalty, right? Or not?
Correct Zook, if you give me permission to play music recorded under your Indie lable I can do so without
incurring royalty costs unless you and I make a formal agreement to pay you per song played on air.
Also Zook, We are always looking for new unsigned or independent artists. How else would they get their work
noticed without a lot of legwork on their part? If you know of someone please let me know =).
Well, RAC, funny you should mention that. My daughter and I have a band. But before you chuckle, see our website for some downloadable samples.
