I am still reading through the site but this is quite interesting to know:
Under the PPL Licence you cannot:
(c) No ‘shuffle’ function allowing random playback of music may be offered.
(d) In any given 3 hour period of Webcasting there shall be:
---(i) No more than 3 songs from a particular album
---(ii) No more than 2 songs from a particular album consecutively
---(iii) No more than 4 songs by one particular artist
---(iv) No more than 3 songs by one particular artist consecutively
Gutted for the djs who overplay the same music over and over again.
Also one thing I do not understand is why the PPL have the right to distibute these so called licences, they are not and official govenment organisation theyre just a company who were set up by a few label companies giving each other permission to stream their material, I doubt every single record label and artist has given permission to the PPL and is coverd by them so it could be that none of the music played is not covered at all by it and that if the record company wanted they can still press charges against you and sue you.
I say ignore the PPL till you get an email from the actual record companies, and even then you could just boycott songs from that particular company.
Also the cost of streaming one song to one listener is £0.000578 , no problem for small sites such as hffm, but for sites like habbox whom gets peaks off 300+ it will add up.
Edit: rofl according to the FAQs even copying a song to a portable device such a mp3 player, cd or hardrive will recquires a royalty fee even if you have legally purchased the material.
Another edit: The USA is not covered by the PPL so if American record companies wanted to sue you (lets face it UK companies never sue it's always the American ones) they still can even when under a PPL. It's quite pointless imo.
These are completely stupid.
Why should PPL have the right to charge sites for playing music?
Are they like the only host?

It's really weird because to be able to qualify for the Standard Broadcasting Licence which means you can have +27,000 performances, you have to have a revenue of £5000

I don't think Habbox should do anything until they get contacted directly.
