the other thing that might be possible is to solicit permission directly
from the copyright holders themselves. There are many independent and small
labels in our music, it would take work but they might all sign off on their
entire catalog for you.

Underound Committee is an independent organization who set out to give you
quality Underground Music, thats all gone now. We can't afford the fees. It
all started with BMI. After numerous attempts to contact us, they finally
decided to just mail us the contract.
This is a sad day in the history of underground music. For many of us the
only way we can here the music that keeps us alive and sane is through
sites like undergroundcommittee.com.
But don't get it twisted. We can do something about this. It may take a
while, but we shouldn't be so caught up in our sadness that we don't ACT.
If you have not done so already contact your congressperson (in the case
of Americans), or DO SOMETHING. Write a letter to the editor...write an
editorial. Organize DJ's, have them contribute a few dollars to an ad
fund then place an ad in your local paper.
There are a number of possible activities to engage in.
Do SOMETHING.
Because on one level this is about the undegroundcommittee's phat website.
On another level, this is about saving our music and our music's culture.
But on yet a larger level this is about the freedom of information and
democratic discourse.
No bullshit.
peace
