Sorry if I jumped ahead of you James on this thread, but Chris, I think you will need to have licenses from the PPL and PRS/MCPS in the UK in order to stream online content. 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.

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 :)

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 ;)

Our All in One COMBO PACKAGES: For a low monthly payment

you can stop worrying and start having fun again.

http://www.webradioworld.com/images/ppllogo.gifWeb Radio World has teamed up with PPL UK (www.ppluk.com) in order to bring affordable royalty coverage to internet broadcasters.

It is impossible to get a single royalty license that covers your station’s broadcasting requirements to the entire world. Even though the internet is global licensing authorities and record companies want to double and triple charge small Webcasters. They want YOU to get licenses in each individual country, which is costly, time consuming and impossible for the real SMALL Webcasters.

The Web Radio World’s license procured from PPLUK, is available now and has been called “the best cover any radio can get on the Net”! Our license covered covers your internet station in over 40 major civilized countries around the world.

The Web Radio World Network guarantees no forced in-stream advertising, freedom of content and no censorship. All royalty packages are provided only on our zero buffer ShoutCast servers. Our All in One COMBO PACKAGES make it easy to get up and broadcasting TODAY.

UNBEATABLE ROYALTY COVERAGE - RELIABLE SHOUTCAST STREAMS - GREAT SERVICE & SUPPORT
