Clean or unclean?

[Tyler]

I mean certain people on this forum are going to classed as too young to listen to certain unclean songs. What're we going to do about this?

 

[Tyler]

Surely it's against shoutcasts terms or something? Or can we have a disclaimer somewhere?

 

[NLstyle]

just nothin, its just our choice if we are too young.. they are on the internet, parents will know what they do when they let thr children on the internet

 

[Tyler]

Like I said though, isn't it against shoutcast terms, or streaming laws?

 

[TehByte]

It's down to us what music we broadcast and at what time, as long as we have a disclaimer warning listeners that adult language/content, whatever you want to class it as, will be played on the radio there's no need to worry

 

[Tyler]

That's all I wanted confirming.

Thanks Matt <3

No problem, if you've got any other problems instead of posting them here and cluttering the forum just ask me on msn

 

[Tyler]

Thats what the forum is here for though. Besides, I never knew you'd answer. I'll keep you in mind though.

Could always do a warning before the song saying that the song containts strong language. Or we could could do songs with strong language after a certain time when all the lil kiddies gone to bed.

It could be called, Kieran's late night "songswithfuckloadsofswearinginthem" show!

So, I can handle it.

 

[Tyler]

I'm pretty sure most 5 year olds can handle a bit explicit material. My 4 year old brother swears, and listens to Eminem.

Best thing to do in this situation is check what country the radio is going to be hosted in, then check the related laws regarding streaming music or radios.

So let's say if it was hosted in England and all listeners must be at least 16 or whatever then make a disclaimer saying explicit content, 16+

You only need to disclaim what you can get done for, and you'll go by the laws set in the country it's hosted in.

You get me?

 

[Tyler]

Fully understand.

One thing I'm really worried about is the streaming license. We need a license to stream, not to mention, we have to have permission to stream by the artists. I don't think it's been stressed enough, and it's a really serious problem.

 

[TehByte]

All we need to do is add a disclaimer at the bottom of the page telling users that explicit language may be used throughout shows and that we don't control what content our DJs stream, it's up to them what they stream.

If you wanted, I could even create a system where a user has to read the disclaimer before hand and agree to a TOS, but they'd only have to do it once.

 

[Steve]

Yeah do that

 

[Tyler]

I've seen that before. You can just modify that vB rules mod.

 

[Steve]

Yeah but what if people have already registered? And you dont need a license from the authors to stream their music if you bought legitly?
