You own the rights to your own original content. I seriously doubt the RIAA or any of the others could legally make you pay a fee to air your own original material.
One option is that we each “license” our programming under Creative Commons (http://www.creativecommons.org/) with a share and share alike offering.
If you need bumper music and etc. check out Magnatune (http://www.magnatune.com/). Their licensing and usage fee’s are very fair and airplay/podcast play is allowed. You can even be eligible/authorized to “buy” their labeled material for free using their internal CC#.
I’m very interested in this network idea and would like to see it work.
