Could load the theme from an external repo, so everything will need to fit in here. Can be built locally, though.

<h1 id="rights-and-royalties">Rights and Royalties</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>If you’re new to broadcasting, or have not streamed your station online before,
|
||
reading the following brief explanation of compensation rules for songwriters,
|
||
musicians and other copyright holders may save you a great deal of trouble
|
||
later.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Independent music radio on the Internet has faced royalty demands from
|
||
SoundExchange in the USA, and similar organizations in other territories. These
|
||
organizations are usually membership societies or government-sanctioned national
|
||
authorities which are intended to collect money from broadcasters to compensate
|
||
copyright holders. The royalty collection societies require payment before you
|
||
can stream just about any music released commercially to the general public —
|
||
whether you make any money out of streaming, or not. It’s not so much the
|
||
percentage of revenue demanded, but that there are usually annual minimum fees
|
||
to pay, which can hurt small stations disproportionately.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>For example, in the UK, the MCPS-PRS Limited Online Music Licence covers
|
||
non-commercial music streaming by groups and individuals, as long as their gross
|
||
revenue is less then £12,500 per year. The cost is on a sliding scale, up to
|
||
£1,120 plus 20% tax per year for delivering up to 450,000 individual streams or
|
||
serving 25,000 files; after that, you have to apply for a full MCPS-PRS Online
|
||
Music Licence. That doesn’t sound too bad at first, but 25,000 files per year
|
||
works out at less than four downloads per hour for a round-the-clock website.
|
||
This particular licence only covers publishing (songwriter) rights, not
|
||
recording (record label and musician’s performance) rights, so you have to
|
||
negotiate an additional licence from Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL) to
|
||
play music online, including digital recordings converted from commercially
|
||
released CDs, vinyl or tape.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Typically, you have to provide full statistical details to the royalty society
|
||
of all music streamed or downloaded from your site, which can be onerous. Even
|
||
if your radio station is mostly speech, there are many limitations in the small
|
||
print of these music licences. For instance, you can’t use music for
|
||
promotional purposes, and you can’t stream a whole opera, without negotiating
|
||
separate licences. Weirdly, you are not allowed to play a piece of music in a
|
||
‘derogatory context’ to the writer or performers; no drummer jokes allowed,
|
||
then.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>However, the biggest pitfall is that these MCPS-PRS licences for publishing
|
||
rights only cover listeners in the UK. For recording rights, PPL is a member of
|
||
the IFPI reciprocal scheme for webcasters, which means its licenses cover
|
||
listeners in some European countries, Australia, New Zealand and a few other
|
||
countries, but not listeners in the USA or Canada. So if your Internet station
|
||
picked up a significant number of listeners in countries not covered by the
|
||
MCPS-PRS licences or the IFPI reciprocal scheme, you would have to pay for
|
||
similar music licences in those countries as well. It’s no wonder that many
|
||
not-for-profit radio stations have disappeared from the virtual airwaves over
|
||
the last few years, since not having the right licences could leave the operator
|
||
liable to legal action.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If you want to go down the commercial music route, check out the
|
||
<a href="http://www.prsformusic.com">http://www.prsformusic.com</a> and <a href="http://www.ppluk.com">http://www.ppluk.com</a> websites for UK licence
|
||
details. In the USA, the <a href="http://www.soundexchange.com">http://www.soundexchange.com</a> website currently quotes
|
||
a 500 dollar minimum annual fee for non-commercial webcasters, plus a usage fee
|
||
above a certain number of listener hours, for the right to stream music
|
||
recordings to listeners. See the websites of <a href="http://www.ascap.com">ASCAP</a>,
|
||
<a href="http://www.bmi.com">BMI</a> and <a href="http://www.sesac.com">SESAC</a> for details of music
|
||
publishing royalties payable by webcasters streaming to the USA.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Free content streaming offers an alternative for DIY Internet radio. Since
|
||
royalty collection societies like MCPS-PRS and SoundExchange can only represent
|
||
the interests of their own members, it follows that if you are not a member, you
|
||
can stream your own self-produced content without paying for their licences. If
|
||
you state somewhere on your website that the stream is of your own copyrighted
|
||
material, and is made available to the public under a specific licence, then
|
||
no-one should misunderstand your intentions.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>You might be able to persuade other people to allow you to stream their content
|
||
too, as long as they do not have a conflicting legal obligation, such as having
|
||
previously joined one of the many royalty collection societies around the world.
|
||
You can ask for permission to stream when website visitors upload their own
|
||
music files to you via a HTML form, much as the likes of SoundCloud do. Or you
|
||
can collect files licensed under an appropriate Creative Commons licence
|
||
(<a href="http://www.creativecommons.org">http://www.creativecommons.org</a>) or other free content licence.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Explicit permission to stream on your particular server is always going to be
|
||
the ideal, so think about your own terms and conditions before you accept files
|
||
from third parties for streaming. How, for example, would you know if someone
|
||
uploaded a file to your online radio station that unknown to you, had been
|
||
ripped from a commercially released CD? That’s the kind of thing that could get
|
||
you in trouble with the licensing authorities and copyright holders.</p>
