How does broadcasting with Alluvium affect licensing royalties for webcasters?
First, read jwz’s Webcasting Guide. The main question regarding Alluvium is whether it legally counts as streaming (see above). If so, then you can pay your normal ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and RIAA fees, assuming that you follow the ASCAP restrictions on playlists. We are also working with Creative Commons on making it possible to obtain webcasting licenses for unsigned music directly from the artists, in which case all such licensing fees could be avoided .
