station websites and a small tip

Posted on October 16, 2012

just a small tip for everyone. while webpages for your station are a nice addition the evil empire know as bmi, sesac and ascap use those websites to locate stations.

just a small tip for everyone. while webpages for your station are a nice addition the evil empire know as bmi, sesac and ascap use those websites to locate stations.

i still haven’t mine running yet but if/when i do my personal preference will be to not put up a website.

not criticizing it’s just a tip you all might not have been aware of.

if they do contact you…

tell them in a polite manner to basically go pound salt. if you are not a business and are running a single site transmitter from your private home it’s considered fair use and your little part 15 is nothing more than an extension of your stereo under the law.

also you all already realize the fcc cruises these forums don’t believe for one second that they don’t visit station websites as well.

it’s not paranoia or fear mongering just fact.

ask your self why create unnecessary aggravation for yourself if you can avoid it?

also adding a stream can expose you to the wrath of the evil empire as well.

so if you want a website be smart about it.

put a copy of 15.219 and/or 15.221 on your site and state you operate under these rules and a disclaimer that you are not subject to music rights fees under fair use.

make use of flash and images for text this keeps these agencies keyword crawlers at bay.

don’t be stupid and put any identifiable info on your site that gives a location or any personal details that can be used to id you or your location.
