I can't freely post an mp3 of the soundtrack on my web site because I'm required to pay mechanical licenses. I'd rather sell material discs of the soundtrack, for which I'd pay the mechanical license directly to Harry Fox, than go through iTunes or some pay-per-download site that acts as yet another mechanical license middleman.
Of course once I've made those soundtrack, there's not much I can do if someone pirates them and turns them into mp3's and shares them freely online. But the point of my project is to follow the law. It falls apart if I don't keep everything legal. --Nina On Sep 9, 2008, at 5:55 PM, Eric Beckman wrote: > http://www.rifftrax.com/ > > They synch MP3 humorous (or not) commentary to play along with feature > films. > > Just posting an MP3 of the audio mix from your website would be an > easy way > to test your concept. > > Still think we need a solid solution... > > Eric > > -----Original Message----- > From: Nina Paley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 8:30 AM > To: Eric Beckman > Cc: Discussion of Free Culture in general and this organization in > particular > Subject: Re: [FC-discuss] A blow against synch licensing? > > On Sep 8, 2008, at 12:50 PM, Eric Beckman wrote: > >> Totally agree.
