Depends on what you want to do. You can contact them via their web sites, or do it the old fashioned way, use the telephone. A quick Google search will reveal the phone numbers and web addresses. Don't forget SESAC. They hate to be left out. |

You can contact them via their web sites, or do it the old fashioned way, use the telephone. Do they base their operations in large central, mid-sized regional, or small local offices? A quick Google search will reveal the phone numbers and web addresses. Very well. I can do that easily enough. Don't forget SESAC. They hate to be left out. Is SESAC an "underdog"? If so, perhaps I'll check with them first. (Root, root, root!) Thanks, Myke -- -================================- Windows...It's rebootylicious!!! -================================- |

Kinda hard to nail down. Event-DJ services. Music for tables (i.e. offline digital jukebox for restaurants). I've got multiple ideas and plans in the works and would just need something to keep me legal once I actually started implementing them.

The last time I talked to ASCAP they had an encompassing license for their entire catalog for something like $300, plus the obvious royalty fees per play or pressing. Thanks! That's exactly what I'm interested in having. I just didn't know how to describe it. Nice ballpark estimate too. Sounds reasonable. I assume that that's an annual fee? The problem is accoutability for a website. Actually the web-based project isn't something where such a license would be required as my client would already either own any files we put online or have permission from the owner to add them to his site. Royalties wouldn't even enter into the picture in that particular case. Certainly most of the questions can be answered at their respective websites, and they are very nice people to talk to. That's nice to know. Thanks. Just general info to get me started off on the correct foot is all I really need at this point. Do they operate more from a central HQ office or are they more regional or local in nature?

Both are located in New York. They aren't a big concern as far as employees, but they do a big job. That'll give me a better mental picture of who I'm dealing with when I ring 'em up. Thanks!

Kinda hard to nail down. Event-DJ services. Dunno about that. If you're not working in a licensed venue already, I don't know how that's handled, but you can call and ask. Music for tables (i.e. offline digital jukebox for restaurants). That's a totally different license, and that's a license that the restaurant is responsible for. You can handle it for them for an additional fee if you want. I've got multiple ideas and plans in the works and would just need something to keep me legal once I actually started implementing them. All those ideas and plans may require individual licenses. Check out the ASCAP web site for some notion of the various standard license types. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

I think that if you don't have a lawyer, you need to get one on board before you start working too hard on implementing your plans. Have your lawyer talk to their lawyer. You're looking at a bunch of individual licenses at different rates, but they make creative deals. That's why you need a lawyer. But, of course. :-) As far as the jukebox is concerned, I would build it for my own personal use first and get all the bugs worked out of it before I ever "took it out on the road" so to speak. There's definitely plenty of time between now and then to be investigatin' and negotiatin' the legal sides of it all. Nice to know "they make creative deals" though. Thanks!
