You are probably right it will cost you about 300 pounds per year, but check with the respective organizations for the exact costs. A UK member here could probably get you a better rundown about royalty licensing in the UK. Loudcity and Live365 do cover licensing fees, but they are set up for royalty payment in the U.S. and not in the UK. SWCast is another licensing agency in the U.S. to cover small webcasters for licensing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hi Cobby, ive split this thread into a new one so it doesnt confuse others that we have gone off topic in the other thread Ive been looking at this for awhile.. http://www.smallglobalwebcasters.com They want to have one royalty payment for full coverage.. Its good to watch As you asked, no, those wont cover you in the UK, you have to go through PPL which is sort of expensive. So far there are no royalty payment programs (like loudcity) that will cover you sadly. Im not expert at this but thats all i know Studiio - All-In-One Radio Communication Platform SMS | Phone Calls | Social Media | Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I think thats their aim, have a read of their website and contact them If its to do with the PPL, it should be full coverage. Before you buy it, ask how much on air time a year you get for a license.. You could be restricted if its too cheap. Always read the fine print ;) Studiio - All-In-One Radio Communication Platform SMS | Phone Calls | Social Media | Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
