Clean or unclean?

[GhostSnyper]

Tyler, think about it this way...

 

"You used our copyrighted material!"

 

"No I didn't"

 

"We have proof!"

 

"Show me"

 

*plays audio recording*

 

"So you mean to tell me that you recorded part of 'my stream,' which I have in no way authorized, and you come to me about copyright claims?"

 

*mindfucked*

[Tyler]

Yeah, personally I was mindfucked, but nevermind. I think I'm taking it out of proportion a little, but it's all just precautionary.

[GhostSnyper]

Makes sense though, doesn't it?

[Tyler]

Yeah, basically they can't do shit with no proof?

[GhostSnyper]

And slapping them with a legality always follows with silence. At that point, you could also be like

 

"You recorded my live stream? I am reporting your agency to the artists that I support. You're illegally obtaining their content!"

 

The chances of youtube and live broadcasting users having permission from these artists is next to none. If anything, artists allow it, because it's like free publicity

 

[warn]Don't double post. You seem highly idiotic when you punish others for a rule you don't even follow

/doublepost? D:

 

And yeah, I can see what you mean. Anyhow this should be good!

[Tyler]

Well I think we've covered the streaming laws there, courtesy of GhostSnyper.

I guess it just depends on where the shoutcast is hosted.

[TehByte]

As long as people don't have a way to find out that your content isn't illegally downloaded it doesn't matter what music you play, you can just say you purchased it ;D

 

And it's not like we're going to get 50000 listeners daily sort of thing, so we don't really need to worry about streaming laws with music; although, it would be good to follow them.

[Jared]

I would recommend getting a DJ recording of like

 

The managers of FailScene radio do not take responsibility for any problems with the next record.

[Tyler]

An audial disclaimer. Exactly what we need.

[Josh]

That could get fricken annoying, as long as there's a disclaimer leading onto the player it's fine.

 

Fuck adverts.

[TehByte]

Audio disclaimers do get rather annoying, and you would have to play them repeatedly through out the show; they are not needed! You just need a clear paragraph stating that the owners of Failscene are not responsible for the content played by the DJs and that there may be explicit language through out the show.

[Josh]

You just need a clear paragraph stating that the owners of Failscene are not responsible for the content played by the DJs and that there may be explicit language through out the show.

 

"..and all the songs streamed on FailScene Radio were purchased legally from places like Amazon and iTunes respectively."

[TehByte]

You don't have to assure people on that, no radio that I've worked at ever has and we got along just fine

 

Just make sure it mentions that the owners don't control what content the DJs stream and there may be explicit language throughout the show

[Josh]

Might as well add it in, it's only an extra sentence and it could save us a lot of hassle if we ever got confronted about it.

[Tyler]

This is why I'd prefer to have it on a separate page (also) rather than integrated into the forum. The forum will get fairly cluttered in my eyes, with players, radio stats, and disclaimers everywhere. I don't see any apparant space for this.

[TehByte]

Agreed with Tyler, a seperate page would be much more appropriate tbh

[Josh]

Or maybe the radio could be a pop-out player?

 

That way it's kinda' integrated because people can still lurk the forums while listening.

[TehByte]

That would work, and have a section dediated to radio statistics, then in the pop out player have the radio/disclaimer

[Tyler]

Personally I hate pop-ups, regardless of what they are. I find it most appropriate to have a mini-site dedicated to the radio on radio.www.offtopic.forum. This would include the radio player, a request line, time table etc.

[Josh]

Meh, we'll sort something out.

 

At least we have a few ideas now..

[Jordan]

Language isn't going to be a problem.

Don't play anything with a shit load of racism though, we swear on the forum, and if they found out about the radio they clearly visited the forum first.

 

We'll just put a small disclaimer or something to be on the safer side of things.

[Westy]

Clean is total shite lol try listening to drop the world censored..

[Tyler]

Which is why we've decided to just put a disclaimer on the site. I believe the listening of censored songs takes a lot away from them.

[Westy]

aye good idea.
