Magnatune: Podcasting Great Way to Expose Music

Wouldn't this seem obvious? To any sane, rational human being yes. To ASCAP-- no.

I used to work in the music *video* business, and I've met some lower and mid-level music executives. They're just as clueless as about any other executive, except they think show business makes them better people...

And so, the Music Industry has decreed that yet another emerging technology is a threat to their business model: podcasting. (Not everyone, as the astute folks at Magnatune have shown)

The MI's cohorts/lackeys in the broadcast world (calling out ClearChannel here) are fueling the fire, as podcacsting really might be a challenge to their monopoly of audio discourse.

Expect the lobbyists to be in full force here, and watch for the lapdogs of the industry to begin attacking Magnatune.

What don't understand they must destroy-- just like the Inquisition.
