RADIO FANSITES THREATENED TO CLOSE!

[Robbie]

If you don't pay this will occur:

I am arresting you for not paying your habbo fansite fee. You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you fail to mentioned when questioned something you may later rely on in x---BABEH---x's habbo court. Anything you do say may be given to LOST_WITNESS


But seriously, good luck finding the money. IT'S ALL GOING DOWN AT HABBO HOTEL!

[Samishlol]

I'm 90% sure ClubHabbo will pay. And I'm 70% sure Habbox and maybe HHFM will. But goodbye to the others.

Also, did Sulake make this rule?

According to a source.. clubhabbo are getting rid of theirs.

[kk.]

habbo are doing it to save there own backs. However, tbh, the disclaimer at the bottom of fansites says they are not in any way part of habbo or sulake so i fail to see how it can come back to them. Anyway, that letter was confusing, it seemed like it was coming from an actual habbo person. then it seemed like it was a PPL person. And then it was apparently from a PPL person. Made no sense

[Immenseman]

yeah crap letter cant you just ignore it and wait for them to tell you it's a necessity

LOL joker. +Rep

I'm sure all official fansites will pass this hurdle, there are quite a lot of users visiting these sites on peek, as well advertising.

[Pyroka]

Is this anything to do with the ruling which got brought in ages ago, which meant people would have to pay royalty fees to broadcast online radio? :S

[Throne Sofa]

Thank god, these annoying radio sites with annoying DJ's on may be closing. It bemuses me why so many opt to listen to these radio's, when there are far better stations out there. It'll also stop all them advertisers in the room saying "Tune in" with their flood tool.

[Gangster]

Habbox should put

"Help us to help you"
"We need urgent donations to keep the habbox radio. Without the radio there is a possibility the whole site will shut down, then there'd be no rare values"

Then they'd probably get £200 in 2 days? As they get thousands(?) of hits and 70% are probs for rare valued.

[Zak]

Why the sudden need to pay radio license?

[scottish]

I doubt any fansite will pay, if they do it'll be major ones like clubhabbo/hxl.

^ Interact; you've always needed to pay for a license but every habbo fansite just does it illegaly playing illegal music; but habbo have been contacted probably due to the official fansites.
