Madison Licensing Trouble?


Recommended Posts

The Madison closer has no audio on the fan network with a subtitle saying 'due to licensing restrictions we cannot play the audio'.

Is this movement on the APD also blocked out?

What is the DCI policy towards getting full rights secured before the corps steps on the field/designs their program??

At this point in time, the synchronization rights to "Empire State of Mind" have not been secured. The Madison Scouts have secured the ability to arrange and perform the piece, but the sale of synchronized video content has not yet been granted and DCI has appropriately decided to mute the replay content on the Fan Network to avoid any possible infringement at this time. This does not affect the broadcasts of live performances, only the replay of them.

We have been furiously trying to resolve this issue for over 7 months. Due to the popularity of the piece and the numerous artists involved in its creation, it has proven to be vary challenging. Let's just say that drum corps licensing is not a high priority for the agencies involved with a pop tune like ESOM.

We are continuing to aggressively secure a license and we appreciate your patience as we work through these matters.

Executive Director
