RADIO FANSITES THREATENED TO CLOSE!

[RyanDOT]

It's really stupid.. I'm sure CH will get the £200 thiough, they have a big userbase. Habbo really need to remember that the people running the sites do it for fun and are young and unlikely to be able to afford a quarter of that.

You have stated a true point!

[.:.:jjm261:.:.]

Right...

Let's work out how much habbo&ppl want the fansite owners to pay... with no income place apart from advertising.

All prices are per year

PLL License - £200
Shoutcase (24kbps/100 Slots) EvoHosting : £170
Web hosting (Sawhosting.com silver plan) : £38.20

-------------------------------------------------
All together = £408.02 (also this doesn't include if the site has a VBulletin.. or anything else)

SHOUTcast £170?

I thought they cost for an average user £24 a year?

But it does add to quite a bit, I suggest users just stop creating fansites and join other forums to be honest.

Who do they have to pay £200 to?

Funny how this comes about a short time after habbo announced that thing to do with new MUSIC in rooms to replace trax....


Weird.


Gonna keep the radio on habtopia.co.uk anyway and try get it more populer, i see no future for fansites though they cost a heck of a lot if you want to do it properly...


And before anybody asks The Vbulletin isnt NULLED and neither is the cutenews on my site so thats that answered lol

Id like to see proof were suposed to pay PPL for the license though, i could easily set up that site and say im the guy you pay.


Sulake grassed simple as.

So true! +Rep

And it aint £200 for us. Apparently its £200 if you egt an anverage of 10 listeners an hour......

All these sites are forgetting:

this £156 is an advance against what could be your license and royalty fees.. Until the form has been filled in and they have a reply they don't know how much they'll have to pay.

They also need an MCPS/PRS Licence aswell as the PPL licence, so this will cost more.


It is 0.0578p per song per listener to stream it so lets say one show with 300 listeners, 12 songs it costs £208.08 for that one show.

Where this £200 and thats it biz has come from I don't know.

You might want to look at this, despite it already being posted. It's meant to be updated accordingly when countries agree to it.
