    Default Habbo Radios - Royalties

    Hi,

    Just wondering if habbo radios such as Clubhabbo and Habboxlive are registered with
    PPLUK and pay royalties for the music they stream. If not then do you have to signup or is it like over a certain number of listeners?

    Broadcasting online technically requires a payment for each song a website streams. So i want to know if those two major websites are registered with PPLUK

    No, they don't.
    Legally they should but they decide not to.

    The government/PPL aren't that bothered about small shoutcasts, they are more concerned about large sharing/streaming sites.

    No ch dont pay any lisances. Goverment aint that bothered until you start to get 1000+ thats when you need lisances to be legit
