Me and a friend of mine are looking to go into Podcasts/Radio and such, but aren't particularly sure on the laws surrounding it etc, and I wonderd if anyone in this community was a lawyer, buisness man or anyone in general who has dabbled in this area? I'm in the latter stage of starting my own Record Labelling company and so I know a little about copyright and actual, physical 'artifacts', but I havent had any contact with these sort of streaming related things; so any light shed would be much appreciated.
I see no need to PM me, simply post here if you know anything, or anyone one who does, but if things do become slightly more confidential or start off as such, feel free to PM me
Bless your faces.
Roey.

Most Podcasts use some form of themesong but this is actually illegal. They could be served cease and desist but most people do not do so. After all, it's advertising - how many times have you heard a theme and said fuck I must
Streaming again needs a license for every song you intend to stream. It's also illegal to format shift streamed music and video, in other words save it for replay later.
