Be careful. ;) >It's for my office... I'd love to play my CDs on my radio, but it would disturb those that don't like my music. Some do, so this was our solution. If I do this publicly, I've already researched the royalty situation, etc. It's not all that complicated in that regard... radio stations already allow callin shows. This is just a variation. Regardless, though, this is a private playback (just my headphones, that's all), so they can bite me.

This is just a variation.Online radio is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than on-the-air radio. You MUST follow the RIAA guidelines for non-interactive broadcasts for online radio, and you do not have to follow these for on-the-air radio. This isn't a simple variation. There are completely different rules. For instance, if you fulfill a request, it must be ONE HOUR after the requrest was made (I _think_). Not to mention the normal 'can't play y songs by z in x hours' stuff still applies. Even the companies that simply let users Fast Forward were getting sued by the RIAA. It's a dumb set of rules, a dumb law, and the RIAA is doing a disservice to artists (especially non-major-label artists) by imposing these rules. Unfortunately, it's a law, and until we get rid of it, we're fucked. jack. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Actually, not really the info, but any opinions regarding this from artists, radio stations, mailing list discussions, etc. I'm sure the RIAA has a page or two up about this, but it's probably devoid of reasoning, etc. Thanks for the heads up.
