Congress approves new webcasting royalties
« on: November 15, 2002, 07:00:27 am »
"Small" webcasters can now reach their own agreements with copyright holders.  "Big" webcasters like AOL or Yahoo pay about 1 cent US per hour per listener.

It is better to post that on "EMusic and Other Legal Services" board.

What are you saying ? He is the boss of the place and he does what he want ? Ah sorry, I didn't know.

;D

Perhaps I am wrong and someone can inform me, but aren't 'regular' radio stations effectively exempt from such royalties? I thought that broadcast of music was seen as free promotion.

Radio broadcasts by radio stations are exempt.  Their webcasts are not.  That's why so many have gone off the air in the last year or so.

But it was not the case many years ago..
In England radios had to pay.
Instead of paying ,they  taped bands live in studio or live live.

So you see ,because of idiots you get all this BBC /Radio One  records today.

Who are not on major by the way

long live to idiots
