Talossan Radio

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

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.
