The major record labels through their enforcement legal arm (The RIAA)
continue to claim that we (webcasters) hold no value for them to
promote their artists. This is simply the most idiotic of stances to
take on this issue. Needless to say, they continue to maintain that
position.
Fortunately for Podcasters, most of the music that we play is what we
call "Pod-safe". This simply means that either the recording artist is
independent, and has given us permission to use their music in our
broadcasts, or the artist has joined the pod-safe music network, over
at podshow.com, or some similar music network that supports the creative commons movement for independent licensing structures.
Please stay informed! Contact your congressmen! Tell them to support Bill H.R. 2060 "The Internet Radio Equality Act"
Thank You!
