Chrissie, lol, ACB has been claiming to have had the licensing issues almost
in hand for five years!
The one thing that is also worth noting, is that while there is actually a
mechanism for legalising a stream, there is no mechanism at all for doing so
with a podcast. So with streaming, we have the choice as to whether we go
through the hoops or not, while with Podcasting, we're being given no means
to make things legal.
Richard Vobes, a brilliant British podcaster, came up with his own way
around this, and that was to put a pound in a jar for every show where he
uses commercial music. In this way, if the authorities ever come after him,
he can say that he has sought to recompense copyright holders for the use of
their work but hasn't been provided with the means to do so. He would then
happily hand over the contents of his money jar. Rather cool I thought.

Oh dear, what a can of worms has been opened with this. I can well see that
artists should get paid for what they do, that's only fair, however, I
wonder how much money that the RIAA collect actually goes to any of the
artists at all, rather than their administrator/bean counters? I wouldn't
mind betting more than actually any artists see. Where will it end. Will a
person caught whistling a tune on the street be had up for copyright
infringement - okay that's tongue in cheek but even so... Btw, as far as
ACB Radio Interactive is concerned, I believe this whole thing is in the
process of being dealt with by ACB itself. I'd like to hope that the RIAA's
aim is not to shut people down by making things so prohibitively expensive
that no one can do anything but, I guess when you're in an industry that's
changing as rapidly as the music industry is, you're going to try and hold
on to what you know for as long as you can and also grab as much as you can
out of it. It does seem though that the whole thing of copyright needs
updating worldwide.
Just my two cents worth.
