You DO need a license to broadcast/steam music online!

[ScottDiamond]

Lol... ?

To broadcast music it has to be delt via the record company. Since they do get paid from each time their artist song is played. It isnt a matter of paying £xxxx a year and legaly been able to brandcast all songs.

Liences are just royality coverage. and just so the preteens here no, it isn't 'crappy' , copyright music must have a lience owned by the radio owner for there 'djs' to play music, the payment the radio owner places covers the royalitys.


this is not enforced enough tho, it is tricky because the company maybe registered in one country, the servers in another (some countries don't use the royality system) and the clients in another.


overall guys... you do actually need a radio lience. and if anyone wants to argue you don't

google it and search for your countries laws on the broadcasting on copyright music on the web.

you can tho play uncopyrighted music for example, your local bands music or your own... or perhaps verbal recordings

Habbo radio's are most likely about 0.1% of the amount of online radios though. So its not a large number when compared on a large scale.

I'd say they're quite a huge chunk of unofficial 'radios'

No thats where you are wrong.

Habbo fansites are such a small amount of online sites. Its puny.

[MrChaz]

Yeah when you think about it. You guys are all like pirate radios.

[F32]

It's not the "radio" that gets 'done' for it - it's the host/supplier/company.

Don't they have to have the thing and not each individual site?

[ZAG]

Online radio stations (like all thse stupid Habbo Hotel ones) are pointless anyway. Its much faster to download the song you want, then request for it to be played on an internet radio station.
