Maybe this is an marketing opportunity for our scene?

Last I checked the Micro Radio stuff they allow has to affiliated with things like a University or something to that effect (Cant remember exactly). It had to be centered around another organization. Not just anyone could get a license.

The real question is how many micro-licenses will they give out, how much that will cost and AM I ELIGIBLE?!?!

Cause if I am, ohhhhhhyeaaaaa

Bernie, please keep me updated on this!

Bernie, please keep me updated on this! You bet. This may be something to be investiaged in increasing the exposure of this music to the masses besides the clubs (many don't like going to clubs).

Now we just have to figure out (with the help of the artists) how to get this music into their hands in a medium format where they would pay for it just like they would with commercially released music (this of course includes getting clearances, licenses, from the artists, record companies, performance rights organizations, etc). Most of the receipts from the sales would of course go to the artists (have to figure out how to split that up). Maybe CD compilations possibly.
