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.

Omg £200 for one show? Habbox's bill is gonna be gigantic!

or they'll just discontinue the radio.

or they'll just discontinue the radio.

they'll still have to pay the bill for the 4years of having an illegal radio.

I Have to ring back PPLUK back in 30 mins as that department was on a break, Wish me luck....

It'll probably only apply to official sites rli as i doubt PPL folk are gonna go on habbo and find every fansite, only populat ones which are on the fansite list so.

It applys to all online radios, and its pointless me doing it without a license and trying to get it busy if one day im going to need one and then not have enough money to back pay it. I know that most fansites will continue doing it illegally but in the future they wownt gain from it.

There is a few things of interest in the rules though.

If you play your own music or if you are a Talkshow you are exempt from needing a license. I dont know if we could make rules for the djs stating this radio is speaking only and include in our Tos that the radio is not monitored by us and any dj breaking a rule needs to be reported to us.

Its only one possability i guess that if the dj breaks the rules we could not be fined but then again we are probaly held accountable for anything that is broadcast on our server.

Im a wee bit confused here,
Is it illegal to stream copyrighted music down the shoutcast without a PPL then?
