“Wondering if YouTube pulled the plug on RSBN?! They have done it before to them!!”
I know RSBN gets gigged if the rally music plays in the background for too many seconds, and they may use that as an excuse to punish RSBN.
I was wondering how much it would cost RSBN to pay the ASCAP fee so the background music wouldn’t be a problem. Going through ASCAP could be a couple thousand, I think. But I did find this, that might be an option:
“Consider bypassing the (ASCAP) licensing and signing up for a service that allows you to play background music legally. CustomChannels.net, ... for example, offers monthly plans for as little as $35 per month. 100 percent legal, the service is fully licensed with all ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR and SoundExchange license fees and no contract is required. If you want to play music legally and dont want to worry about signing up with these licensing companies, then these premium services may be worth looking into.”
Maybe if they could get legal with the music, they could safely broadcast throughout the whole rally without having to go silent a lot of the time. Of course, if YouTube is bound and determined to censor them for being conservative, they’ll find some other excuse.
We need links to other streams ASAP. We can keep switching back to RSBN.
