Habbo Radios = Illegal

[MattUH]

let this thread die -.-'

So what? Its the owners fault if anything happens, just sit there and laugh.

[Lycan]

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,

[Flisker]

Lycan is right i live in germany and i am gonna see if i can buy a license now for the radio

[Recursion]

People in Canada are lucky 'cos they dont need a lisence :@

[bowrox]

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

[---MAD---]

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.

[ADAM:]

Has any one ever read the docs on shoutcast.com ?

The server owners will not be fined for this, aslong as they make sure people dont play illegal music (IN THERE TOS), this can be any illegal music, free-to-download (legaly from dance music sites ect), Itunes/ legal music downloads or payed to the artist to stream.
