Kickstarter to Pay the Musicians
Copyfight 2013-12-20
Summary:
I mentioned a while back that the 99% Invisible Kickstarter put up as a stretch goal getting insurance for staff, a key part of a business plan. Now I've found (through Mark Frauenfelder at Boingboing) that the Wrecking Crew documentary is trying to raise the last quarter million it needs to pay song licensing fees and ensure that the musicians get paid for the use of their work in the film. Yes, I ordered a copy of the movie; artists need to be paid.
