College radio copyright question?
Hey, I DJ electronic music on college radio, I’m very new to it. I don’t know a lot about copyright stuff but when I asked the station manager he said that wé are covered with the BMI/ASCAP stuff and to not worry. That being said, I would like to play music from rather small artists around the world and support them, and I’m not sure if they would be covered under that. How could I check, and if they aren’t checked, is there still a way to play their music on air?
I do purchase any music I play before airing (either on Beatport or Bandcamp) it as I like to have it for personal enjoyment too.
Thank you.
