Something iv'e noticed

[Milarz]

Just about every fansite, has a rule "Do not play illegal music". Which kind of frustrates me considering you're suppose to be licenced to play music on air anyhows.

Er just saying we don't need a radio license.

Kthxbye

[Milarz]

Actually, everyone does ^ but "we just don't".

[Vinnie:Safety]

NObody can tell if you play illegal music anyways,

[Milarz]

You can if it's bad quality. I mean 1. the people who would warn you for it would have "downloaded" songs as well. Face it... everyone does. Not only that, downloading songs is not actually illegal if you "download" from the right place. Such as real life club DJ's, they have there laptop set up with a special program running to allow to "download" songs. So that's also another reason why fansites shouldn't say "Do not play illegal songs".

Yeah, I use that, Not gonna name it on here, Dont need anymore warnings -.-
But yeah, they shouldn't say do not play illegal songs.
But usually sites that say illegal songs, they mean a DJ's water mark that plays at the beginning, during, and end of the song.
That is stealing another Dj's music. which shows you have illegal songs.
Also why i put my own personal audio watermark in all my songs :P

This thread confuses me, what do you mean?

No Hx was contacted by the licensing people, but eventually they got away with not needing one babe x

[Eoin247]

I thought as long as its not broadcasted by radio waves you dont need a licence?

[Ostinato]

I don't know much about licensing of online radios etc. but ultimately it is clearly highly unprofessional to use music which has been obtained for any organisation, and if this ever were exposed (ie. poor quality, radio rips etc.) it would like reflect particularly bad on the organisation and therefore there is often no tolerancy policies.

If someone believes that all the Habbox DJ’s (most of whom are under the age of 18) purchase all their music, then they are simply naive, obviously Habbox wants to look professional which is why Habbox has that rule, that and the fact it’s illegal and with Habbox being an official fansite, it wouldn’t look good for sulake if the DJ's were streaming songs titled "Maroon5_moves_like_jagger"

In the UK, any form of streaming copyrighted material to the public that isn't yours needs a license. This goes for satellite, FM, DAB, Online and whatever else there is.

Hell, even schools have to be licensed to show classrooms of children a film.

I remember a few years ago, my whole year were going to watch a movie in the hall, but we couldn't because if someone's parent was a copper, then the school could get fined, lol.

Biggest waste of time even writing that little piece of text. Nobody would read it anyways.

[Jazz]

The only way people can tell if a song is illegal is through the quality and the song title

Most fansites have that rule, but most DJ's don't actually follow it
