Custom Channels is set up to
handle all the Retail and Webcast Royalties (RIAA/SoundExchange
or "CARP") fees, including the new fee structure established
by the Copyright Royalty Board. We stay on top of the latest royalty
rules, regulations and fees so you don't have to.
Custom Channels are DMCA-compliant and all music licensing fees
and reporting is included when your channel is launched through
www.customchannels.net which maintains webcast licenses for both
sound recording and the musical composition performance rights from
the various licensing organizations.
As you may know, in May of 2007, a Copyright Royalty Board (CRB)
decision increased the fees that must be paid when music is webcast
over the internet for the period 2006-2010. Our current rates reflect
the additional costs of these royalty rates for Custom Channels.
Since then, a coalition of large and small webcasters, broadcasters,
musicians and others - including SBR Custom Channels - is continuing
to press for relief from the new rates, either through appeal, direct
negotiation with SoundExchange, or congressional action.
As a Custom Channels client, you can be assured that if the royality
rates are reduced by these efforts, that we will reduce our rates
accordingly and will credit your account the difference between
amounts paid on your behalf and those actually owed under any reduced
rate scheme. Some restrictions apply. Contact us for all of the
details.

for you. After all, it's what we do! |
