(Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, and I've never played one on TV. Although the opinions expressed in this article are well reasoned, loaded with common sense, and correct, please don't treat them as a legal opinion. That's a whole 'nother arena!)
- Â Using Royalty free music from GovAccessMusic.com lets you use high quality music for your channel without worrying about licensing issues. You don't have to pay a royalty every time you play a tune. You don't even have to track it. You just buy the CD, and you have permission to use the CD on your government access cable channel for a very long time (Check out the agreement terms for details).
- You'll be getting music DESIGNED for this application - music that is access-channel friendly. This saves you search time!
- You avoid setting a bad example for the public. If YOU use unlicensed music on your channel, you are in essence saying that the law doesn't matter - neither does right or wrong. By buying music from GovAccessmusic.com you are purchasing a license - staying legal (and in the right) - and setting a good example. in fact, you might want to put a slide up in your program, that the music has been purchased and licensed (If you send us a screenshot, we'll put it up on the website!)
- You'll support talented musicians that, while not broke, are still hungry! (One of us has teenage boys in the house, so there's never any food in the frig......)
More to come!
