If I have an Web Radio Station Do I have to check with permission to document campanies to set their song on air?

Question by daph: If I have an Web Radio Station Do I have to ask permission to report campanies to put their tune on air?
My close friends and I are planning to put up an Net Radio Station, I was just questioning if we need to have to check with permission to report businesses, and artist for us to place their music on air?

Very best response:

Not only inquire authorization, but possibly shell out them. I’m hearing that there are smaller expenses and some concessions for college student stations and such. Check out out www.riaa.org
