Radio

I would like to start a weekly radio show on my college’s internet radio station with old recordings of the Mercury Theater shows. Does anyone know if that would violate copyright laws (or other applicable law relating to radio broadcast)?

Thanks for your help!

Several issues to slice at: whether you need a copyright license for non-profit use in an educational institution, whether it would be a different answer if the "channel" were only accessible to students at the college, whether the original works are copyrighted, and (if so) when do they expire.

The US Copyright law grants a limited exemption for certain educational uses. Read 17 USC s. 110 to see if your proposed use falls under one of them. If not, you may be able to obtain an inexpensive license from the copyright owners (typically the producers and their successor owners).

The Mercury Theater recordings were originally recorded prior to 1973, so they are not covered by any federal copyright. However, state laws prohibit unauthorized publication of sound recordings, so could still find yourself sued for copyright infringement in, say, Massachusetts. They would have to prove, among other things, that you "copied" the recording "without consent" and for the purpose of "profit" from a public performance, or to "sell, rent or transport" any unauthorized copy.

Under many state copyright laws, the copyright NEVER expires. These laws will remain in effect until they are preempted by the federal copyright law in 2067, making all such works "public domain", i.e., no longer covered by any copyright in the USA.

I would like to host a internet radio programme, without starting my own station.

Use 1000MIKES – Radio 2.0.. to start you off and tell your friends to listen or post it on facebook or twitter. Don’t use illegal music because they can end up blocking you. Its quick and easy to set up and you can see how many people are listening to you at the time. hope that helped

I get very bad reception in a small house in France surrounded by hills. So if I buy an ‘internet radio’ of which many are now on sale, what wires, electricity supply, aerial(?) do I need and where do I have to be in relation to the p.c. on the ground floor ????? Any help appreciated. I know I can get reception on the p.c. but I want to listen upstairs.

You could try internet tuners by Grace, Sangean, Coby, Aluratek, etc. I have an Aluratek AIREC01F that I like for the most part. I use it wirelessly with a wireless router connected to my modem. Believe me, internet streams sound better through a decent stereo system than computer speakers.

By internet radio, I mean stations that are exclusivly available online, like VH1 radio. And yes, I’ve heard of Pandora, the make-your-own radio station sort of thing.

No real careers yet. Maybe in 10 years.

Please provide some tips… I would like to know how to gain more fans on my Internet Radio service.

Please note, it should be, Free of charge & include Best place for free advertisting.

When something is free don’t expect much results.

I am a DJ of a college radio station and I recently graduated, thus I was forced to end my radio show. However, I am still eager to learn how to maintain a show on an internet basis. Is there an internet service that allows users to legally play whatever music they want to an online audience? What are different options available? Also, what might the costs be associated this such an endeavor?

i have a Samsung Galaxy Apollo (GT-i5800) Android phone and i want to know of any good internet radio app? one that has a search option to look for stations in the world and one that has good reviews and with less buffering.

any sugestions please?

thanks.

I dont have a Droid (yet ) But i heard that Pandora or I Love Radio are really good!

Are there any sites or services that will work on my phone? I know virgin mobile has an internet radio station on their site so im not sure if that will work? Has anyone been successful in listening to radio on their virgin mobile phone? If so, please give me some instructions. Thank you for your input.

Are you sure that’s mobile and not simply a strange example of stabile?

I’m debating between buying a SqueezeBox Internet Radio or a regular am/fm radio (I like both). But I’m wondering how long the lag/delay is when listening to Internet radio? I don’t like too long of a delay. Thanks.

Internet radio is less than an actual radio, radio is 25 seconds now and internet is only 15 seconds.

I have a Claris Magibox and use the internet radio function a lot. Programmes are often missing from their programme lists ( especially on BBC R7) These are on the BBC lists on my PC via I Player. How and who adds these lists

Hi there.
There is a company that has the contract to transmit all such information, although I believe that the BBC does its own. The software in the box accepts the info and translates from the digital signal.
the best way to refresh a channels playlist is to select the channel itself and wait – usually does the trick quite quickly.
Cheers, Steve.
