[Fmpro] Disney/ABC/AOL

[leshurdle]

Anyone see the news today where it would appear AOL is to  
''''deliver"'''  free of charge ABC broadcasts 24 hours later.
ABC/AOL to share the revenue [one presumes from advertising] a  
statement on CH 5 LA today.

How will composers for the music in the programmes delivered via AOL  
be paid [especially Library music?    http://www.allheadlinenews.com/ 
articles/7008580551   the only data I can find today.

It would appear the delievry is to be a 'stream'.......... so, how  
are we all to be paid?



Can someone help me here please.

I had been led to believe a stream was a broadcast which was also  
'delivered' at the exact same time as the broadcast but in the  
digital medium?
If not, what is a stream?

E.G. my local radio station makes it clear I can go to their website  
and obtain the current broadcast as a 'stream'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media        seems to  
contradict my information.

kicker word in here !

More to the point, given there is now a huge potential for  
audience... might this be global?.......  shuold the sync fee's for  
music be adjusted up to compensate, especially if the PRO's do not pay?
