hi everybody. I'm starting a series of podcasts soon through my web site www.cameronstrife.com
However, does anybody know what has to be done if you are playing mostly unsigned bands/artists? I can't afford to pay royalties at this point and have no sponsorship etc yet. Would getting written permission from the copyright holder stating that it is a free play to to speak be enough? Thanks in advance for any answers.
