Lol i did research on this around christmas for a project
its not the radio owners fault, its the Dj's ... the Radio owner only picks up a small fine while the dj picks up a large one
but liences are quite easy to come buy if you no where to look.. and theres different liences for different countries
overall just play uncopyrighted music - makes it completly legal,
Lycan is right i live in germany and i am gonna see if i can buy a license now for the radio
People in Canada are lucky 'cos they dont need a lisence :@
But if your host is US or UK based you do, because your host could get fined.
Who cares some geek posted this thread why? We don't really care as the radio will just get shut down no one will get done lol << Gimp
The fact remains is that the shoutcast hosting doesnt tell anyone that music broadcasting is illegal..so they would get fined NOT the owners of the radio site/DJs as they have nothing to do with it.
Even if they did tell you, do you have any idea how many dam radio sites their are in the world? Nearly 80% are illegal..so dont waste your time lol.
Has any one ever read the docs on shoutcast.com ?
Yep, bit sad really.Quote:
