I liked this when you launched it here recently. I still don't understand how you're dealing with the PRS issues though. At some point, someone has to pay the artists. Can you give any insights on how you deal with this?
Best of luck with a great app.
- zackattack 17y agoI am making a shift to artist-uploads only. It turns out that most of the popular songs on hiphopgoblin v1 are actually songs by less-known artists. There is a high demand for better upload/management features so that's what I'm building. Conveniently, when they upload the songs the artists themselves can agree to give me rights to play their music. Nice it works out this way.
- redorb 17y agosounds like a - 'no name artist' pandora ; which isn't bad; but to advertise over/around their songs might require special agreements...with artist and/or labels if they ever sign. Good luck with your idea, I hope it works out well for you.
- Gibbon 17y agoIf any of the musicians are ASCAP members, then you're going to need an ASCAP licence and you'll have to pay performance royalties unless you get legal agreements with all the artists to waive their royalties as a part of your fees. There's also the whole copyright infringement issue and users uploading material they don't have the rights to. You'll need to monitor uploads constantly.
