Bret Gets Legit

in Punditry

Lextext: "Congratulations! Your BMI Music Performance Agreement has been executed. You now have access to BMI's award-winning catalog of approximately 4.5 million works!" The ASCAP and RIAA licenses are done by mail. Plus...I think I've figured out how to do a podcast under the statutory webcasting license. This is exciting. More soon. Very soon...."

Excellent stuff Bret. I was just talking about this on the weekend. The more we can do to keep the wires clean, the better the space will be. You are setting a great example.

    It was actually your weekend podcast that made me look into this. Once I identified the licenses required and estimated the fees, it made sense to do it. I think I can pay for the licensing fees with a combination of Google Ads and Amazon Associate fees. We'll see. I'm not going to go into debt to do it, but it's worth experimenting. I love this medium.

    Wow - that means that *two* people actually listen to my Podcast. Joey kind of does it out of some weird sense of obligation, but you too? I'm flattered! :)
    We should talk more about this at some point. I'd love to hear more from you regarding why you did it, how you see the costs netting out, etc.
    Very cool stuff.

    Actually, that makes three who listen to your Podcast, but we all know that Joey's just angling for a raise next time you do employee reviews (what a suckup!).
