I got my FCC Amateur Extra Class license about a year ago - went from nothing to that, but I'm an EE so the technical part wasn't difficult - just had to cram for the regulations and best practices and stuff. I got the ARRL study

it is about two things - licensing as well as market size. in the case of the latter, big media companies just don't care about small markets, as the cost of operating them is greater than the potential profits realized. in the case of

In my experience, Netflix is horrid outside the US - a much more limited catalogue and a lot of mismatched foreign language content. I live in Jamaica and had subscribed to the version that was legitimately available to us w/o using a

A silly question, but do you have exact dates for kickoff, etc? This is both awesome and serendipitous, but I have a family wedding in roughly mid-September :)

Ardour looks pretty nice actually, but I haven't used it myself. Same goes for Reaper and Presonus Studio One. In the end, in my experience, it comes down to a few things: - stability and available support for problems - ability to sh

I run an indie label, distributor and publisher. We pay out tens of thousands of US$ to artists, writers and labels every month. People do and are making a living in all of these professions, but yes it is hard. Not sure where all this vitr

As someone who works full time in the music business, I shed no tears for Grooveshark. The only thing I don't like about this situation is that there appears to be no settlement for the thousands (tens, hundreds?) of indie artists, lab

None of those companies are labels, they are all distributors - I suspect in short order you will see more of the major distributors on board, e.g. The Orchard, InGrooves, and possibly some of the commodity style ones too like TuneCore and

To me the huge problem in the Bay Area was (is?) public transportation more than housing prices. This may have changed as I have not lived there in a while, but I just remember the Caltraink, BART, Muny, etc. being horribly disconnected - t

If his license to UMG for using the recording did not allow them to use it on YouTube, I would file a DMCA or similar claim (not sure about the territorial issue) against UMG for infringement. This results in a different process than just a

This is very interesting - I see this as an ideal concept to be paired with one of the existing commercial solutions, e.g. Shazam. If you're indexing all the random and free stuff out there, you're picking up a lot of material tha
