Dr Edmund Lam, CEO and Director of Composers and Authors Society of Singapore, said: "Currently, the trend is that we see an increasing number of bloggers that copy music into their web pages without obtaining the legitimate corporate licenses.
"We would encourage such bloggers to come to the one-stop centre to apply for the necessary licence. We are charging a rate of $1,000 for bloggers that does not exceed the usage of 10 songs."
COMPASS plans to introduce two new technologies to identify illegal music websites in about six months.
One technology is called the webcrawler where it will go through the net and search for sites that have exploited musical works.
The other technology is called fingerprinting. What it does is it identifies the type of music that has been downloaded, and checks if the musical works have the appropriate copyright licences. - CNA/de

So bloggers, you got to get a license first before being able to post music in your blogs.
