Tidbits from Tod

(This titling system may mean I have to choose the sessions I attend today based on the first name of the speaker…)

Tips for podcasters from Tod Maffin, who did a fabulous session on podcasting. Here’s what he says about using clips of music or shows.
People believe (but are wrong) that it’s perfectly legal to play music clip if:

  • I only play 15 seconds
  • I talk over the intro of the song
  • I bought and own the CD
  • The artist Agrees (you still need the label’s permission and sometimes their union’s)

You can get licenses for things from ASCAP.com/weblicense to get a non-interactive, no revenue license for $360/year. It’s more if you earn revenue from whatever the clips are included in.
