They license most of the music you hear, so it's a good place to start.

How much money you gots? You're gonna need it.

Digital Millenium Copyright Act is why Americans aren't broadcasting now.


I visited ASCAP to give him a feeling for what is required.... Assumed
"experimental".. No income. and about 25 streams...

So that is what you pay each month to service 25 total connections. Figure
it will be about that per month for BMI as well. Interestingly enough, that
is more than a classical station I recorded for paid each month, and they had
some serious ratings and profits. Then again, virtually everything they had
on the air was from the1700's and 1800's...
