Can radio stations launder copyrighted music for podcasts they broadcast?

Submitted by doc on Wed, 11/29/2006 - 23:11.

That's the question on the floor right now.

I've been told, more than once, that the way around the a copyright hassles involved with podcasts (basically, you can't play music from the big record companies — namely, most music you know — without going through legalistic that are very much not in the lightweight-labor ad-hocky nature of what podcasters do) is to get a real (FCC licensed) radio station to play your podcast. Because they're allowed to play that music and you're not.

So, if you can get a friendly station to run your 'cast at 3am on a Sunday or whatever, you're set.

True?

I really don't know. Hoping one or more of ya'll do.

Yeah, I have heard of this too but don't know anyone who would have done this. So if you try it will be nice to learn about your experience.

Radio Stations & Copyrighted Music in Podcasts

True. If you’ve got a podcast that contains copyrighted music and a radio station decides to play it, it can be rebroadcast and, providing all DMCA rules are adhered to, it can be streamed as well. Since stations that play music pay all licensing fees (ASCAP, BMI, SEASAC & SoundExchange) those fees will cover the music in the podcast. I do day this on a daily basis.

Sounds like a profit center for semi-friendly radio stations. Can they run them on the side bands?
