			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I ran into an interesting issue in the LinkedIn group. Someone posted an opinion stating that since their government access channel was hosted by XYZ cable company &#8211; who does pay royalties &#8211; they are covered under the XYZ cable company payment schedule.</p>
<p>This is FAR from true! The cable company is only paying royalties for the music they use in THEIR productions &#8211; not yours! You as a content creator (or the entity paying for the production) are responsible for royalties/tracking/etc. That&#8217;s why it is such an advantage to use GovAccesMusic tracks for your productions &#8211; by license they are royalty-free, which means you have a license to use them in your productions for a loooooong period of time.</p>
<p>So why not just go by your local blank-mart and pick up some CDs cheap? There are a LOT of reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>The music on those CDs is NOT licensed for broadcast use. It would be illegal to use that music for that purpose</li>
<li>Often the tracks are of a lesser quality &#8211; which gives a really bad impression to your audience.</li>
<li>Using music obtained illegally also sends the wrong message to your audience (hey, it&#8217;s OK to rip off artists and musicians) and to the artists (who have little reason to create).</li>
</ol>
<p>So pick up some tracks from<a href="http://www.GovAccessMusic.com"> GovAccessMusic.com</a> &#8211; our music is licensed for broadcast use, and all the tracks on the site are full length. That&#8217;s so you don&#8217;t waste time listening to 15-second commercial length cuts.</p>
<p>We also offer a discount for purchasing a full album&#8217;s worth of music.<a href="http://www.govaccessmusic.com/music-cart/"> Swing by the site</a> and check us out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve posted the official License and Terms of Use on the main website.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the totally-unofficial-Plain-English explanation:</p>
<p>These tracks are for use in &#8220;background&#8221; types of applications &#8211; background music behind a powerpoint thing running on a Government or Publis Access station, for example. In this type of usage, the tracks are truly &#8220;royalty free&#8221; &#8211; meaning that you never have to buy another license.</p>
<p>However, you might find a track (or several, we hope!) that would be PERFECT for use as your theme song. In that case, please contact us. That usage would require a different license and pricing. It isn&#8217;t a huge deal &#8211; we just prefer keeping all the ducks lined up correctly!</p>
<p>If you are looking to use our tracks in an educational setting (elementary, secondary, or higher education)Â  &#8211; contact us! We&#8217;re both teachers, and firmly believe in educational pricing.</p>
<p>In terms of Customer/Client information (names, purchases, email addresses, etc) -</p>
<ul>
<li>We don&#8217;t give it away.</li>
<li>We don&#8217;t sell it.</li>
<li>To Anybody.</li>
</ul>
<p>(unless a US court orders us to do so. We&#8217;d rather stay in the studio and out of jail.)</p>
<p>You can read the entire thing <a href="http://www.govaccessmusic.com/music-cart/index.php?cmd=licence">here</a>, if you&#8217;d like.</p>
<p>More music coming soon!</p>
