PODCASTING QUESTIONS ABOUT LEGAL ISSUES AND COPYRIGHT LAWS
Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2008 2:04 pm
I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with podcasting and would know about some of the legal concerns. I am trying to figure out if it's legal to put up a dj mix using music that you have purchased. From what I understand you can't do it if it's for commercial use but what about self promotion? Say you just want to put up a podcast of your dj mixes on your myspace page. Is it okay to do that? Do you have to get permission from the artists whose music you use in your sets or is it okay, just so long as you give credit to the artists? Are there any loop holes without having to go through all the legal stuff by just putting up a disclaimer on your podcast and say that it's for self promotion?
