to contact them.
Not at all, here's what they say:
From Podcast our music!
We specifically grant podcasts a waiver to use our music without paying any fee to a royalty collection agency, such as ASCAP or BMI. Because we work
directly with artists, we can legally do this.
All our mp3s are Creative Commons licensed, and may be downloaded at no cost for podcast use.
Usually, however, we prefer that podcasters get the best audio quality versions of our albums and so we allow podcasters to download the best-quality
purchased versions of our albums.
If you're a podcaster, please
email Teresa and she'll happily give you a special credit card
number you can use to "buy" albums from us at no cost to you. In your email to us, please give us the URL to your podcast on the web, and we'll
email you back the free purchased-download-quality instructions.
As long as you follow the
Terms and Conditions you can use their music without contacting
them.
Hope that helps
.
Inverencial Peace,
Akashic
