aaronsnet Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 You have to pay special royalties/get special permission in order to use some of those streams on your station. I have spoken directly witih the BBC World Service and they wanted over $1,000 US a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, one of the biggest problems with internet "radio" is that many people believe that all of this stuff is (or should be) free, don't pay music royalties, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yep .. I agree I think its mostly dangerous to broadcast news from National broadcasting campagnies such as BBC, ABC, etc Afterall quality isn't that good .. only 40kbps I think almost every National broadcasting compagny provides these links on their website (hidden to members only or visible). Also National radio at Belgium offers these online (visible) .. but as Belgian project I wouldn't dare to broadcast the files Sometimes its more likely to broadcast a weather forecast, these can be easily found for free at the internet at websites who provides tools to media .. In most of the cases these websites provides a member (paid) service and a light (free) service. Visit and listen @ BW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMB Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 @ aaronsnet: well, it was posted here on BW as free to use, so I used it. @ceejay: that is a rather broad generalization of webcasters - I follow the rules, pay my fees, and because I come from FM radio, probably have stricter rules/documentation than many netcasters. But then again, I take this seriously, its not a hobby. ;) @GK (and others) if I am found to be in violation, I will of course cease using the service. James - what are your thoughts as admin??

When a conbtributor submitted that article i added this at the bottom... (These are feeds of news, we do not take responsibility over any postings or usage of these streams) So you are using at your own risk, i wouldnt use the BBC radio service or the ABC's.

GKIye Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hi Kelly, Well you're in for adventure isn't ? Concerning FM only stations at Belgium there excists a news service who provides headlines etc to these kind of stations, paid offcourse Some of the Belgian internetstations do use these services also .. but to be honest I don't know the price they charge for broadcasting In fact its very easy to capture these links and to broadcast them at your station .. so far National stations don't make any scan of the users of the files .. each entry by a station can be followed by tracing the IP of the user At that time that user has no reason to say .. "I did knew it or I don't use it" I don't have anything against it .. but I wouldn't dare to broadcast the content Otherwise ... it is published to the public .. so it can be used by everyone who has an internet connection .. so it ain't piracy itself .. but it still stays property of the original broadcaster company such as BBC, ABC and others if I am found to be in violation Visit and listen @ BW !

Norwood Radio Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 This is the news I use - http://www.rslnews.co.uk/pages/1/index.htm though I have used the BBC world service news. regarding the BBC news podcasts all I could find on restriction's was you are not allowed to edit them etc.. so I took the same rule for the news and borrowed a few minutes in emergencies. Basically the FSN link is safest, just one thing I could'nt understand was why if you subscribed ( not compulsary ) you did'nt get anything different from non subscribers.

Because ... if you subscribe you have the right to re-use it on your own service, if you don't subscribe then you only have the right to listen to it yourself at home, but not re-use it on any broadcast/netcast.

But then again, I take this seriously, its not a hobby. ;) There was a thread on another forum recently titled Is it possible to stream WITHOUT owing royalties?. Here are a few gems from that ... Most small internet stations dont pay anything,,, why bother if you only have a handfull of listenersI dont pay royalties. And I certainly dont plan on it either. They can kiss my a**.Putting someone in jail for playing a song that they have already bought and paid for, is like putting someone in jail for giving someone a ride in your car.I know plenty of small internet radio operators, and NONE of them pay. None! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
