The music industry it VERY rights concsious and they will enforce their rights.

Did you know....
That to play music on hold a phone you need to pay for the rights to do it?
That it is illegal to play the radio in a store as 'music' in the background? And if you want to play a CD well, that's illegal too. Both fall under the public performance part of their rights.

Again, what are the odds you'll get busted? Pretty slim...but Iv'e had customers that are in the recording industry as clients, I've had IRS employees as clients...and all it takes is one ticked off client (or competitor!) to blow the whistle and you better have one good umbrella for the sh!t storm thats headed your way!

Its also illegal for you to play music to "set a mood" during a photoshoot that you are being paid for.

There was a case reported in the local press here of a small vehicle maintenance company having a radio on for the workers to listen to. The Performing Rights Society contacted that company and basically told them that they'd have to buy a licence for this. To me, this is a complete nonsense, as the broadcaster is already paying for the dubious privilege of playing music over the air, but that's the way it is, it seems.

What's more idiotic is that after I made my slide show with a song from Simple Minds, a Warner owned group, 2 of the 20 people that had access to view it went to Itunes and PURCHASED THE SONG !!!!

I could sing, but that's not going to set a mood that I want to take pictures in LOL

It better be originals, cause unless you have the proper license for karaoke/cover band performances...youll get busted for that too.

re: music on slideshows - there are resources/websites that sell royalty-free music. And no, they're not your TOP 20 radio hits - but it's legit. Also, there are MANY independent musicians that would love to get their music heard by people. Perhaps look some up online or in your area??

[b][i][i][b]I was happy to have found this site, I was reading your posts about slideshows and starting your business. I did this also, only word of mouth, I sold a few shows and I absolutely love it. This is my passion. I use pro show producer and photoshop. I work in the floral industry full time, I have for 20 years, but I know this is what I want to do. I had a hard time marketing myself. I am not so good selling mysel although I have to admit.. my shows can sell themselves. I have seen many others thru the years and know my shows beat them by far. So here is my issue. I want to leave my job now and work for someone pursuing my dream. I didnt seem to make it on my own, so I would love to do this full time working for someone else. I just dont know who. I dont know where. How do I get started in the field. I am great at what I do but do not know who to approach. I wish I could have made a go of it on my own, I have even tried to find a niche, maybe just focusing on landscapers maybe.... a virtual business card. I have lots of ideas but feel so alone in this. I wish I could go to work for a company at this point. Any suggestions from you guys would be great for me, I'm happy to see other people besides myself have the passion! Thanks, Susan[/i][/i][/b][/b]
