Quote "So if you have payed your licenses,",,,, End Quote What does this mean? If you payed for your podcast license ( if there is one) or your licenses to obtain each track you mix?
If it's the ladder once again, the RIAA has found another way to piss me off. If I'm understanding this correctly, If you do a podcast or Simulcast or any kind of live feed of your MIX, then that's illegal even if you're doing it for free. If that's the case then posting a mix online is illegal, shot djing period is illegal unless your work for a radio station that has bought all the licenses to play the songs you play. I always thought you only need to follow the copyright/publishing laws if you plan on SELLING a mix. I maybe misunderstanding all of this, if so please explain further. Ja'Maul Redmond 1100 S.

Podcasting is covered by the same copyright/publishing laws that are any other medium is covered. So if you have payed your licenses, you have nothing to worry about. If you're a live musician and this is YOUR work, you have nothing to worry about. If giving away other peoples music for free (which is what podcasting does) and have NOT payed the correct licenses if the music isn't your own work, then yes they can take you to cleaners. And the law doesn't care if you are making money or not. It's the actual giving away the music that is what breaks the law. But there are other "copyrights" out there: http://creativecommons.org/ That allow other options. Dave
