![]() ![]() The digital licensing of music media is an unenforceable mess in that all of us are technically violating someone's licensing rights by playing any song where our friends can hear it even in our own home. The usual license that comes with physical media purchased in the United States includes a grand-fathered fare-use provision clause that has been tested in court many times. In all cases, you as the DJ should have a legal copy of all the music you broadcast. The reason I mention this is that Linden Research use to maintain several default media streaming feeds and as such should have a some form of Media Rights Licensing agreement in place. I'm unaware if Linden Research maintains the needed EMI / ASCAP / BMI Media Rights licensing but they may in fact have one of these in place. The equivalent Venue definition looks to mean the Second Life platform provider, Linden Research. When you look at the actual language of this regulation this does not translate to SecondLife Virtual Venue Owners. Generally, and in most case law, the "**Venue Owner**" in a real Life location is responsible for maintaining the needed rights licensing when hiring a DJ or entertainer. Second Life is headquartered in the state of California, United States and this is the jurisdiction where the laws regarding the broadcasting of Copyright protected music apply and need to be adjudicated. This way the buffering and concurrent stream broadcasting tasks are managed by your Relay Host Provider. Relay Server makes much better sense for most DJs since it allows you to DJ with a lower speed Internet Connection. You actually need much more additional upload bandwidth to support your PCs SL session and any other concurrent PC activities that may be running at the same time as your session and DJing. The rule of thumb is kbps / 100 = mbps upload bandwidth needed just for the D.N.A.S. You don't use this in SL.Īlwin's comments are mostly correct specifically the importance of you having the needed upload bandwidth to support the number of listeners you anticipate will be attached to your stream at each set. The URL & Port & MIME/TEXT Assist string is is used as a MIME Type to automatically launch the listener's default PC Media Player, usually the Microsoft Media Player or iTunes or VLC. Make sure that the PC allows all incoming port 8000 traffic. Make sure all incoming traffic to port 8000 is redirected to your Relay PC. You will need to make a pin-hole entry in both your PC's firewall settings and on the Modem/Router provided by your ISP. This is also the URL that you would enter as the Sound URL on any parcel you DJ at. ![]() This would allow listeners to access any stream you are broadcasting through this Relay Server using the standard URL & Port string. ![]() ![]() Relay Server on a PC then at configuration time you could have taken the default Output Port designation of 8000. if you have installed and configured a D.N.A.S. you'r in real problems, they know even better than you what you used.įirst of all. I don't say you will get caught, but if they do. Some got a 100.000 /1000.000 "invitation" to pay for illegal use.ĭon't think they don't know what you broadcast, every song has a code in it's file what registers the time, length and what song is used. Several people in Europe and USA already found out what their minute of fun costed. when you'r busted you have to calculate a risk of about 6 to 10 usd for each song they find at your machine. You really need to think twice if you do this without license. Next to a broadcasting license you also need a license to use the music you own, your private use is included when you buy it, but not for making it public as you do with broadcast or live dj gig. without permission you'r working illegal, and there are pretty serious fees to pay when you'r caught. Perhaps you already took care for it, but also think about your broadcasting license. If you multiply your bitrate with the amount of possible listeners you see that you need quite some to keep it smooth. Next to that you need sufficient bandwith to keep sl and your stream running. I would recommend to rent a shoutcast server inworld, it's only a pretty small amount and it will keep your machine saved from a heavy load ánd possible ip attack. If it's working fine why being confused? If it's not ok it won't work. ![]()
