Great question!  I just watched the new Wuthering Heights movie.  It was pretty good, even though it left out half of the book.

I'd like to confirm Adiéns as an implind.  Please also add Tzoncă Davinescu and Suvlavxheu Davinescu, my other daughters.

We have a few videos planned.

The next one will focus more on the monarchy, as already mentioned.  This will try to tap into the heraldry and SCA community with hashtags and tagging accounts.

After that, I plan to do one about ár glheþ.  I'll be tapping some of our resident Ladintschen to get some audio there, and we'll tag some language people.  This will also just promote our language generally!

(Speaking of which, I'd like our Ladintschen to think about what Talossan words or phrases might make good thirty-second videos.  Like a history of the word, or a weird phrase and its explanation, or a description of an unusual thing like Ă.  These will be pretty easy to make.)

If anyone has any other ideas, let us know.

Great news, everyone!  I just checked my email, and it turns out there's a ton of exciting opportunities awaiting the Kingdom of Talossa!

• Our HR Department (which I didn't know about) has emailed to let us know that our salary has increased, and we just have to log in and confirm that we want more money.
• Bank of America and Wells Fargo both want to let us know that our credit line has increased, we have unclaimed funds, we're in danger of losing unclaimed funds, and there's suspicious activity on our card.  We just have to click the link and log in, and we'll be rich.
  
• Various people have sent us invoices, product catalogs, offers of employment, offers to develop new apps with us, and other opportunities.
• A wealthy man in Nigeria is trying to get his money out of the country, and he'll cut us in for almost all of it, as long as we're willing to help him with the wire transfers.

Just wanted to let everyone know about the fantastic opportunities waiting for us.

Under the provisions of El Lexhatx E.4, as this prospective citizen has failed to make a first posting to Wittenberg within thirty days of their introduction by the Immigration Minister, the immigration process for the prospective citizen is terminated.

The Progressive Alliance and the Union of Free Reformists would like to announce a new agreement between the two parties, building on the success of the recent parliamentary pairing which has led to greater levels of trust and cooperation.  The Progressive Alliance has agreed to abstain on votes on The Broosking Swing Mitigation Amendment (62RZ08) and The Pseudo-Real Cosă Act (62RZ11), allowing both to pass.  For their part, the Union of Free Reformists has agreed to abstain on the vote on the budget bill of 62RZ06, as well as abstaining on all future confidence votes for the remainder of the 62nd Cosa.  To the extent that the late agreement means that MZs are unable to change their votes as specified and possibly resulting in an unintended outcome, both parties also agree that they will abstain on the next Clark on fundamentally similar bills, acting in good faith to uphold their parts of the bargain.

I apologize, but you are still a prospective immigrant. When we messaged, I should have seen that - it is not appropriate for us to talk about politics, or for you to join a political party. This is a time in which you should take the opportunity to explore not just the country, but also all different political parties and ways of living in Talossa.

Let's talk again after you immigrate, and after you have a chance to find your feet in the country. I apologize about the confusion!

I should be able to have it tweaked by then and ready. Given the resounding silence, it seems like it's it's already pretty much ready to go!

I've spoken with His Majesty about having him in some as well. And I'll probably do some talking-head style ones.

There's some background noise. Not a lot, but I'm pretty sure I can take it out with very slight effort on Audacity.

I didn't notice the beginning sound, but it's probably an accidental bit of audio left-in from an imperfect clip.

The government has produced a promotional video for Talossa!  It's in contemporary TikTok style and 50 seconds long, and we think things like this have a chance of going viral again.  It's not a sure thing, of course, but we can re-use stuff like this many times in the future.

This is a first attempt, so please -- give us your feedback!  What needs to be fixed?  What needs to be added?  What hits wrong?

To Do List

• Remove audio noise.

I'm a Talossan lawyer, but that doesn't make me any kind of lawyer you'd want for any other court, much less a copyright and licensing lawyer, much less a British copyright and licensing lawyer.  But the PPL Linear Webcast License states pretty specifically that it doesn't cover any broadcasting outside of its "extended territory," which includes places like Mexico and Germany (for an annual £90), but does not include the United States.  Right now, the PPL fee is £207.

It seems like you also need another license, the PRS, too.

If your broadcast can be accessed in the United States, though, none of the copyright holders get paid for any listeners there, and so you need to pay for the rights to that by joining one of the licensing groups like ASCAP.

Honestly, the whole thing for Option 2 is just a nightmare, and unless you can drag a pro in here to work on it like @Sevastáin Pinátsch (who's no longer a citizen) then you're probably better off going for Option 1 or 3.

RadioKing sounds like a good choice for Option 3.

Okay, sounds like we have something going, here!

It seems like there are three approaches:

-No copyright.  Here, you'd broadcast only stuff that you had the rights to broadcast, as well as stuff that was royalty-free.  So this would include probably all Talossan content, plus royalty-free music (or music from a subscription service that includes royalty-free use of so many songs, usually for a monthly fee, like Epidemic Sound or Artlist).  This could be done with the Synology, or through a service like https://www.internet-radio.com/  The cost would be minimal.

-Music webcasting.  Here we get complicated, because the PPL license in the UK is intended for predominantly UK audiences.  You'd need two licenses for the UK (PPL and PRS) and then the US license probably ASCAP.  Honestly, we're talking like thousands of dollars at the end of the day.  You probably can't do this.

-A service like Live365 (https://live365.com/) which does everything for you, but which costs $65 a month.  This is a level of expense with which the Kingdom couldn't realistically do much except to defray a bit of that cost.  You'd probably need sponsors willing to shell out to cover the cost... $780 a year isn't insurmountable, but it's a lot.

Yeah, it's an old thread and some images aren't available in the UK -- check them out here: https://wiki.talossa.com/Zu%C3%A1vs_da_l%27Altah%C3%A1l_Rexhit%C3%A1l

@Tierçéu Rôibeardescù , @Mximo Malt , @Barclamïu da Miéletz , and @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP , are you guys interested in moving forward with this?  I'd love to help get the infrastructure set up for broadcast, if you are.

Ordinarily we'd ask him to confirm that, but he mentioned you when immigrating and I think it's pretty clear.

Very nice!  What do you think the traffic on those pages might be?  They're not one of our national languages, so I'm not as inclined to reward them at the same rate as the English Wikipedia... maybe every ten edits on one of those gets a Day of Observance?

By the way, have you decided what you want for your first one?

I got the game Katamari Damacy out of the library for my girls to play, and I have been also enjoying the soundtrack.  It's amazing.

I'm back, and everything seems to be standing.

All Progs should check our private forum for a vote that has begun today.

Just an FYI: I am out of town and away from my computer for a Nine Inch Nails concert, and I will have limited availability for the next couple of days.
