:( Bad news

[Jamie.]

Now that I've found out you need a PPL license to broadcast an ShoutCast server I've decided I wont be getting one for SwindonSound.
Say this site was where you lived would you still use it if it had;

News system
Download system
Topsite system - maybe.
Competition system
Badge system - how cool!
Friends system
Blogging system
Profile system
Banning system
FAQ/Help system - wow!
Messaging system

Providing it was all based where you live... and any ideas what else could be included?!

I can't believe you're not getting a SC because of licensing.

Almost around 80% of Internet Radios AREN'T licenced.

[Chippiewill]

Urm no but if it was national i would use it

edit: name of site should be changed to:

swindonhasnosound
swidondontfeelthebeat
swindondontlikefunk

etc

edit mark 2: Below is so true (second part)

I might use the site, and on the subject on shoutcasts. Do you think sites like ClubHabbo have a licence? You're only going to be found out (even then there's a 0.001% chance) if you have like 90000 listeners.

[Jamie.]

I personally wouldn't like to take a risk as it can result upto hefty fines which even I cannot afford, although we should report clubhabbo deserves them right *cough* i mean yeh there lucky.

[Andys]

I think if you got caught they'd just ask you to remove it first, then they'd take action if you failed to co-operate.

[Jamie.]

I was gna contact PPL and ask them that but then that would defeat the object :P!

[Jamie.]

UPDATE:
So the question is do i carry on :S

[Frog!]

Yeha, go for it, but if you get found out any never said a word :D

[Jamie.]

DO I CARRY ON WITH THE SITE WITHOUT A SHOUTCAST WAS THE QUESTION.

Peace.

You didnt hear it from us ;) haha
