#591 Daily Source Code for Monday April 30th 2007

From The Curry Manor, Guildford, UK

Is SoundExchange (and by proxy the RIAA) a danger to the PodSafe Music license and other alternative forms of licensing? DailyKos thinks it is, but as always there's lots of ways to interpret the data. A call-out to Savants from the legal field who can help. Of course it isn't all serious business on the Cha-Cha, we talk about alternative headphones and sulk over the showgirls. It's a good day!


Music in this episode:

Common Ground - Better Life
Natives Of The New Dawn - Good Day

Anji Bees Unwind , sponsored by Tylenol PM

    Dude... I think you must have frighten the hell out of the Showgirls. Link in your shownotes is dead... I get a 404 error. Did they ran away? Have you chased them from podshow? LOL

    also -- clear that the do NOT administer royalties for "digital downloads"

    http://soundexchange.com/faq.html#a6

    "The reproduction right for sound recordings, e.g. digital downloads. Licenses for interactive performances or reproduction of sound recordings must be obtained directly from the SRCO."

    so it seems that if the owner of the master licenses it to a podcaster, sound exchange has no claim

    i think here's good news for the pmn from the soundexchange faq

    "If I join SoundExchange can I still negotiate a license with a webcaster if I want to?
    Yes. Although membership in SoundExchange prohibits you from licensing your sound recording copyrights to another royalty collective for purposes of collecting and distributing Sections 112 and 114 statutory royalties on your behalf, your membership in SoundExchange does not in any way limit your ability to enter into direct (i.e., nonstatutory) licenses of any sound recordings that you own, whether with webcasters or other potential statutory licensees. SoundExchange simply requires that SRCOs notify it of any direct licenses entered into with statutory licensees or digital music service providers so that it can ensure that payments received from services that hold direct licenses to certain recordings are calculated correctly and allocated properly."

    Oh, I see that after "Ear of Van Gogh" your next illness is "Savant Fatigue". Well, no problem, as I said: 2-3 times a week is more than enough.

    Hey, this scorning of Anji B was impolite! I understand that you take bribes from nokian boors, but don't become a boor yourself, Adam! You owe her apology - they were just chit-chatting you and scorned her badly.

    Adam, you mention our meeting as if you would be scared of meself. Don't be! Be relaxed. Maximally relaxed, and take pot if it will help you. I promise to be super gentle with you (you as you, not you as Podshow) ;-)
