Discussion of all things related to Public Domain

Yes, this can and is being done.

The important thing to remember is that there is more than one copyright 
at issue. There is the musical work (composition, lyrics, etc.) which is 
usually handled through ASCAP, BMI and SESAC. Then there is the Sound 
Recording.

When obtaining releases, make sure the person providing the release owns 
the material. More often than not, the label and not the artist owns the 
sound recording copyright.

The CBI (collegebroadcasters.org) annual fall conference in Dallas this 
year will have multiple sessions on webcasting. Please contact me off 
list or visit the CBI website for more information.
