This is what I believe BMI is trying to sell Denise (a broadcast/download license). If you go to their website here http://www.bmi.com/licensing/webcaster/index.asp you can read more about it. It doesn't appear that they even tried to verify that any of the music on the website was actually a licensee of BMI, but hey, I'd rather get a sales pitch than a letter from their lawyers. I suspect that they simply searched all websites for any music content on them at all and then sent out mass mailings to the administrative contact for that domain. Anyway, hopefully Denise will get it all sorted out soon and then we can get easy access to her mixes again. -Dave ___________________________________________________________________ The D mailing list http://www.djdenise.com/ Check out the new forum! http://www.djdenise.com/forum/
