Musicians are using websites like Kickstarter and RocketHub to raise money for recording sessions, road trips and more. But what happens if an artist pockets their fundraised dough—and then fails to complete their stated project? Crowd-sourcing expert Daren Brabham of UNC Chapel Hill, Chicago Tribune reporter Christopher Borrelli and intellectual property attorney Jonathan Reichman join us to discuss this and other possible legal shortcomings of crowd-funding.

We'll look at how artists and club DJs pick and organize the songs they play in live performance. Guests include Christopher Borrelli, who wrote about the topic in the Chicago Tribune, and musician Ira Kaplan of the indie rock band Yo La Tengo.
