A woman from our state just got nailed........Photographers-- you better use royalty free music for your needs. Every attorney that thinks they can make .05 cents will sue your butt off.......read the article Mike

Why not so much with musicians? I don't see a difference. Please explain, as I am interested to see why you think "not so much" with musicians, as compared to photographers. "Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.

What if an band/musician used your photo on the cover of their CD? I do think there are slight differences, as it's more about the RIAA losing their bucks.. versus a single photog. But.. it's still along the same vein. Kel

A brewing supply house I used to go to had a separate place for brews and music and they clearly had a large sign posted at the door saying if you were a member of the ASCAP or whatever it is called, you weren't welcome and you would be considered trespassing. Because they don't care if you have a live band, or are playing the jukebox.

Why not pair up with local bands? There are literally thousands of bands that would jump at the chance of having their music used on websites, etc. "The most endangered species?
