Carlos, did you have to obtain any other licensing to rebroadcast anything, or is your setup streaming only?
Are the publishing companies the same for what you're doing? Harry Fox Agency, SESAC, BMI, ASCAP?

We have only internet rights, but no matter if streaming or rebroadcasting.
The other rights are incredibly expensive and we don't play any licensed music on private rooms where hardcore action happens.
As I was trying to calculate once, to get the license to publish one DVD with licensed music would cost a fortune, I don't want to bullshit you but I guess it was around 6 EUR / 10 seconds so say 6 k USD for 90 minutes, speaking about DVD rights only, not TV.
That's where I found out why in so many porn movies is such a horrible music in the background, now we don't play anything in the background when there is hardcore action - it has a better raw feel.
