Habbo Radios = Illegal

I Got a liscence from the performing rights society how it works is they pay royalties to the artists, he is not a n00b he is just trying to stop you getting a fine (or ur parents)

Look on the ugetme website for more info

+Rep to
saietko or whatever

I'll wait to see someone with a fine before I believe this.

Don't say to me 'YOU ONLY NEED A LINCENCE FOR NORMAL RADIOZ NOT INTERNET ONEZ LOLOL' because you have no idea what you are on about. If you go to www.livecast.co.uk, you can buy licenced streams there or if you wish to find out about licences please go to www.ppluk.com AND http://www.mcps-prs-alliance.co.uk/. If you want to know about a station that had to close because of the cruel licences please visit: www.cmpradio.co.uk

I am bringing this up because I feel that while you are buying your shoutcast/icecast/w/ever you should know that it's illegal. If you go to www.garageband.com you can a licence for FREE that allows you to play unsigned artists, that are GREAT.

yeah it's illegal, also in sg. lol. but they dont care... :S

I told the committee who takes care of them but theyd idnt' give any reply lol except 1 (they told me they'll investigate)

But would sulake let the official fansites have pirate radios with no licences?

I think Sulake give them the right to Broadcast or there would be not Radio Section on the Official Fansite List

Saiteko is right. This issue has came up before, people seen to overlook it, it's the radio owners fault if they allow it to happen.

No matter where you buy the music, it's still illegal to publicly play it, without a broadcasting license.

And no, Habbo are not liable for people's own negligence.
