(a) Pre-recorded complete radio programs for syndicated broadcast on subscriber Radio Stations.
(b) 24/7 music-based streams delivered via secured satellite and internet link to subscriber Radio Stations.

(b) That you are the sole owner of the mechanical copyright of the recording of Your Music or have obtained the necessary permissions of the mechanical copyright owner to enter into this agreement.
3. Music Reproduction
· We need to reproduce Your Music internally and as part of products for subscriber Radio or Television stations.
· At no time are these internal reproductions made available to the public directly.
· End-user products are provided only to licensed subscriber Television or Radio stations, never directly to the public.
Therefore:
(a) For the purposes of delivery and creation of programming you hereby grant to us the right to reproduce Your Music, in whole or part, onto any medium internally and waive the right to recover any mechanical royalties that may be due as a result.
(b) You hereby grant to us the right to retain a reproduction of Your Music in perpetuity where it is part of a completed or previous Pre-Recorded complete radio program retained for archival, but not broadcast, purposes.
4. Your Royalty Entitlements - Internet Broadcasting:
· Internet broadcasting is not currently cost-effective in Australia, therefore you waive the following rights in regard to the use of Your Music on our own web radio stations:
(a) The right to recover performance royalties under blanket licenses, including the right to collect such royalties individually or through a performance rights society.
(b) The right to recover mechanical rights or statutory royalties.
(c) The right to recover any royalty that may be applicable for public digital performance of the Work, such as web casting.
5. Your Royalty Entitlements – Broadcast Radio Stations:
· We will make reasonable effort to enable subscriber broadcasters to accurately report performance of your work for the collection by you of applicable performance royalties, by providing broadcasters with play lists for each program or stream. These play lists will be limited to:
(a) The name of each song used
(b) The name of each artist performing each song used
(c) The releasing label name provided for each song
· It will be a satisfaction of this requirement that such play lists are made available to broadcasters on our website http://www.isonliveradio.com.
How do I know which type of service my music has received airplay on?
Ison live Radio can only provide you airplay under categories 1 & 2. If your music can be found in play lists of the “Promotional Airplay Music
Library” and you have submitted it through the library then it may have received airplay under categories 1 and 2.
Category 3 airplay is not currently available through this web site as product is directly solicited for it during the test broadcast period. This
is expected to change in early 2010 when we will be given access to 20% of available air time for some independent artists. At this time,
as yet to be determined, reporting procedures and by invitation only music submission procedures for this category will be put in place.
