In theory, yes. In practice, the licensing groups haven't seemed to ever
enforce their fees when it comes to club djs. They seem to be happy enough
that a club pays some basic ASCAP/BMI license (which they need to play any
music of any kind, even off the radio, I do believe). In this specific
case, I am sure the RIAA/ASCAP/BMI/bloodsuckers will be watching webcasting
very closely and few corners will be bent.

But this is the question, and Javier might be the best person to answer
this. With DJ sets, dj's aren't playing whole songs...just bits of them
in most cases. Let's say we tried Brendan's strategy and it was
successful...would DJ's be confined to playing songs from the new
consortium?
