[LUG] Re:[OT] iTunes MP4s
2005-11-07 by Doug Slick
Hi All, I appreciate the passion surrounding this issue. I hope some of you follow this topic to The OT list to see the result. I have spoken with reps from ASCAP and BMI this morning and they both confirmed that using legally downloaded material to play during my band's breaks is covered under the usage license that the venue pays for. In other words, it's the same as when my band plays cover tunes. The country club or hotel pay a license fee to BMI or ASCAP for us to use the material. I'm legit! Now that the legal matter is settled, I'm going to go on to try the technical work around that you guys suggested to import the MP4s to Logic via a dump to CD as AIFF files. :-) Thanks to everyone for the help. -- Doug
