The great debate goes on.
ILNRadio productions has been supporting up and coming and independent artists and musicians from the get go. Often long sets of Dan Oulette are run on our Gemjn Radio station with intermittent stories of how I came to know, appreciate and work with the man. Long sets of Dreamchild, Armand Melnbardis II . DFlash in Blue, Sugar Snow, M1 Music, BootmobRecords, Pheonix Flames, Johnny Gelsomini, K4S Entertainment, Liquid Black, DJBless, David Duke, Dungeon Masta, Paolo Gamma, Trendsetta, Quartet of happiness, Incus, stillrise, Mia, Thadeus, … does the list end? .. you get the point. All these people, and possibly YOU will be affected by the choice we are faced with at Gemjin Radio.
If we become licensed and track royalties so we can play ‘famous’ music we can play albums and spectacles of you guys. We can play your tune when your fan pops on and requests it until an hour later.
Does it matter to you? It matters to us! We are setting the policy for 2011 on Gemjin Radio. If it matters to you, let your voice be heard! Review the ‘rules’ in question: Applicable stipulations from the DMCA are summarized below.
