I can't speak for US but in Australia if there is music and you don't have copyright clearance it will not be broadcast. end of discussion. we have community statios here who regularly get sent great stuff from secondary schools but of course it has a soundtrack with music with no clearance, it cannot be broadcast. i also teach in a uni. media program and we have an expectation of all work from year one that it complies with copyright requirements. We don't want graduates going to work and getting their employers sued because they haven't learnt the basics of media and copyright law. lifecasting is interesting. Personally i think they should just let you pay a nominal amount, eg USD50 a year, and that is your licence so that while lifecasting if there is music in the background, you've paid a licence. same way here inn australia you can play music in your shop (you pay an annual licence to the Australian Performing Rights Association and they distribute the money to the artists). -- cheers Adrian Miles this email is bloggable [ ] ask first [ ] private [x] vogmae.net.au [official compliance stuff:] CRICOS provider code: 00122A
