ASCAP/BMI/et al covers songwriting royalties. No practical licensing exists for downloads or derivative uses of the mechanical performances.
'Getting away with it' and Fair Use: be careful. The landscape is too hot and too lawsuit happy. Talk with a good lawyer if you want to push the limits. Can you challenge a Fair Use lawsuit if EFF doesn't step up? I used to be much more casual about using music until I worked on the deal with Warner Bros/Reprise for my podcast. From that point on, I made a point to stop (that sorta happens when you know a lot of Hollywood types are watching/listening). Dig through CC music, Opsound, Association of Music Podcasting and others. Everyday Films has permission from the Parkdale Hookers. My podcast and Backstaging.com uses music from cjacksmusic.com, a CC artist, who has the license for me to be able to use his stuff. And it's so good, I want to hire him for some work. We can build our own economies with the indie movement, while fighting the battle to unshackle the music from the old world of legacy entertainment and media. This too, shall change. It just takes time. ER http://ericrice.com --- In [email protected], Ronen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It's safer to use music you have permissions to. But.... > > Usually people let it slide.
