How does this work? Audiorealm's website says a couple of things.
One: "Complete DCMA and RIAA/Sound Exchange sound performance record keeping and compliancy tracking and reporting system." Does this mean that Audiorealm pays the fees out of AM's subscription fees?
Two: "When applying to the Audiorealm Network, you agree that all materials on your site and originating from your Webcast are licensed by you or owned by you." Er, is this not applicable for the particular service AM is considering?
Three: "Multi-format Streaming support. - Mp3, Lame, Ogg, WMA" Any chance of hearing AM via Ogg?
Four: "Automated Advertising and Syndicated content insertion including "LIVE" content like Breaking News, Weather, Talk Shows, Concert Events, etc." Hopefully this is optional and not completely automatic.
