Basically, to legally broadcast music you must: A) Obtain permissions from the copyright holder (usually the publisher, record label) of the *composition*. ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC offer compulsory licenses for all of the artists they represent, fees based upon roughly how many listeners your station has & how many songs in your broadcast are by artists/composers they represent. B) Obtain

Hi list, This might not be the right list to bring this subject up on, however I thought it might be a good place to start. What are the current legalities in relation to non commercial music streams, or more accurately put non profit streams, and is this currently being seriously policed? Basically I am wanting to start up my own online station, but I don't really want to get my butt

Last year I arranged with my college radio station and ITS department to webcast the radiostation using icecast. The webcast has been a wonderful success so far. My problem now is not technical, but political. A few days ago I recieved the following message from the station director: ================================================================== hey josh, i talked to [faculty advisor]

You'd still have to pay the royalties. It DOES matter if it's mp3. You have to pay the publisher royalties regardless, but in addition, there's a 2%

great info on the dna lounge site, but very discouraging. o, basically, we would not be able to do this unless we wanted to pay a ridiculous amount of money. we could keep it on the down low, but this kind of defeats the owner's purpose for the stream, as he wanted to advertise it so potential visitors could check it out before they come. is there no way to make this happen? (legally) jg

Oh, I almost forgot... If you're going under compulsory licensing: 1) Listener requests cannot be honored, otherwise you will end up labeled an "interactive service" along with Audiogalaxy Rhapsody & the like. Which means more & more expensive royalties. 2) You cannot play more than 3 songs of the same album in any 3 hour period (no more than 2 in a row). Nor can you

I decided to make a few shell scripts that can be used to connect to icecast, decode/reencode a stream, and then send the result back to icecast. I guess this can be done with liveice, but this seemed like a simpler solution for my needs. I have it triggered by a cgi script that i click on when at work and want to listen to my tunes at a lower, more reliable bitrate. There are basically

Hmmm, so in summary, anyone wanting to put together a station for a couple of hundred listeners with out a massive bank account, it can not be done legally. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris G (Moguta)" <chrisg1@umbc.edu> To: "icecast" <icecast@xiph.org> Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 11:33 AM Subject: RE: [icecast] legalities of streaming <p>>

Forewarning... this is my understanding and advice. I am not a lawyer.

Ditto Scott - you nailed it !! But the DMCA actually sets rules on requests and processing them without being considered "interactive" - for instance the time frame allowed from when requests are made and then processed and actually air (minimum 60 minutes), to displaying your playlist - (can not be displayed public in the order of actual performance) basically as long as you never

The license for MP3/mp3PRO useage is not quit as you think - first the webcasters must meet certain base requirements - Note: No license is needed for private, non-commercial activities (e.g., home-entertainment, receiving broadcasts and creating a personal music library), not generating revenue or other consideration of any kind or for entities with an annual gross revenue less than US$

My LAN is behind a Netgear router, which does NAT. On the CentOS server I have fail2ban running. This morning my router reported 3 different IPs attempting to send UDP packets to port 38950, Since each address is only seen 4-5 times, I presume that fail2ban took over after that. GRC reports that ports are stealthed (port 143 was open, but is now closed), but then: Unsolicited Packets:

If propagation of Ogg Vorbis is the (or a) goal of Icecast then probably the best strategy is to build an embedded Ogg Flash Player of some sort, so that people unwittingly become Ogg users without lifting a finger, and broadcasters can start using it without fear that they'll lose listeners due to their protocol choice. I've been streaming for more than 7 years now with Quicktime,

Hello You must add first: vlan (tagged) to eth2 eth2 interface is not tagged by default and not know vlan-s . It is like a cisco if you have 24 ports in cisco by default all ports are in vlan1. if you want to do trunk (with vlans) you myst add (vlans) to this ports (tagged or untagged) So you can compare that all interfaces in linux by default are in one vlan(but not tagged).
