It does depend on country of hosting, but tbf, im sure plenty of Pirate radios exist still online, and honestly I doubt it would be easy enough to find out the licencing status of each song... or even if it had been perchance and Owend by the broadcaster

Mister Governor we are awaiting your vote.

And I want to know how you want to go from here ?

@Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be Bumping this from Mximo. Congratulations on your election, will we soon be convening the Constitutional Review Committee?

If you are going to play any music you would have to pay for royalties, generally you can pay through BMI  and I think they do a lump sum that gets split between all of the writers of the music (sadly the performer gets nothing unless they also wrote the song)

Looks ok to me

Yeah I might pull out of this.

You do where I'm from, sadly.

Quote from: Mximo Malt on Yesterday at 12:29:30 PMI was thinking of having a block of faith-related programming, would this violate the First Covenant in any way? I think it would since we're establishing this as part of the Government.

If this were a Government project, then the Government would run it.  This would be a private project, and accordingly you could do faith-based programming at your whim (and based on the desires of any collaborators).

However, I'd be happy to contribute in a private fashion just like His Majesty to some kind of joint thing; not religious, of course, but maybe a short weekly show about what the government has been doing or issues of concern.  I mean, a lot of interesting stuff happens... today I informed someone who applied under the name "Adolf Hitler" with the alias "Osama bin Laden" that their application was incomplete, for example.  (Somehow I doubt that the gentleman's application is going to work out.)

I don't think you need any kind of license to do broadcast "radio" over the Internet.

I meant a licence comparable to that of the BBC

Wow, that's astonishing.  Things have changed -- you never used to need anything back in the day (although I guess we're talking like 20 years ago at this point, and maybe we were supposed to have one even then).  It seems like there's a lot of people who know about this stuff and can offer help, though!  That's amazing!  That's what we're all about here!

It sounds to me like you do. The name RIAA comes to mind whenever touching on these subjects. In any case I think there are providers for radio stations that pay these fees for you and also give you a streaming platform, so that you only focus on the music and programs.

This bill is ready for CRL review when possible.
