Don’t forget about legal fees, graphic design, setting up bank accounts, book keeping, registering the company / DBA. An e-commerce site selling downloadable files is more complicated than most web designers are used to – the expenses mount as they figure out solutions to issues that seem to pop up every day. Also, consider the time you’ll be spending on it that will take you away from your income producing work…
Audio fingerprinting has been discussed here a lot. What this article doesn’t really cover is the elephant in the room – re-titling.
Non exclusive libraries, even ones that use prefixes instead of a full re-title (like Jingle Punks, Audiosocket, Getty etc), will still have issues if their tracks are in libraries that show up with a service like Tunesat.
Audio recognition could be the end of re-titling libraries (which I’m sure the major buy out libraries would be happy about), but I can’t imagine the big re-titlers like Getty going down without a fight. Or maybe there’s some kind of deal made in a few years where re-titled / non-exclusive tracks can’t make any performance royalties (I hope not).
Also, I wonder how much the PROs would have to lower their rates if they actually paid for every second of music aired on TV and radio.
certainly : )
