Photography Question

legal music finally


Interesting stuff here... I haven't been tracking all this very closely but just saw this posted :

It has been announced that an agreement in principle that will, for the first time, allow wedding photographers and videographers to dub fully-licensed popular recorded music into their client slideshows, DVD's and video.

This agreement includes the opening of an online music store specifically for professional photographers and videographers to sample and download from a catalogue of 2 million major and independent label songs.

The tentative annual licensing fee will be $299 for 50 songs licensed for client slideshows, dvds, and videos. You will be licensed to burn as many as five copies of each downloaded song for your individual client.

In addition, the agreement will allow professional photographers and videographers to download songs for website streaming. A catalogtue of 1.2 million independent label songs will be made available for pofessionals to use as theme music for their websites at a fee of $125 per fully-licensed song.


We anticipate the online music store will be open by the end of 2006!
