legal beagle-ing

so on top of recording podcast (still hate that word) shows as tests, I've been working through a lot of legal dealings for copyright and all the related issues to putting music out online. my research (which included an intense discussion yesterday with one high-level official) has found 2 schools of thought on this:

1) keep it relatively under wraps and play whatever the hell you want-legislation and enforcement on podcasting are probably at least a year away
2) fess up now to Socan and the other agencies now to avoid future legal hassles.

it's not surprising that basically the only major music podcast game in North America right now is CBC Radio 3, as they have clearances from all artists registered with New Music Canada. so I guess we'll record 20 minutes of pure talk about music then. reasonable? ha!

just watched the new clip for metric's the list, evidently shot at the recent Island show in toronto with some sporadic euro tour footage as well. 6 videos for that album yet nothing for its best song, Wet Blanket-hey, if they don't wanna be huge that's cool, that's cool.
