Radio Script
 

Hello, I would Like to make a radio for my server. I have an idea of how I can do this, But I am not sure if it will work right.

Ok, basically I want to make it play a .mp3 file I upload to the folder I made, .mp3.

Would It go like this?

For Example, this is the song I want to do now.

Immortal Technique - The Illest(1).mp3

It is uploaded and I just want to know if this would work.



play("Immortal Technique - The Illest(1).mp3");


Could this work?

I dont want to run it from a site, just from the server, because it is uploaded to the folders. Ok, please help.\

Thanks

Signing your posts is against the rules in this forum.

Edit: Also I think uploading MP3s you cannot transfer the copyright to GraalOnline of is against the rules as well.

As Loriel said, if you do not have the permission or isn't the creator of the MP3-file, you may not upload it into the file browser. That's against the rules and is illegal.

So you'll have to stream the file from a website instead.

I am pretty sure you need copyright, not permission or creatorship.

You're right. (If you're the creator, you can upload it though.)

When I last searched for freeware music and midi files, all these royalty free ones popped up, saying that you could only use them for personal use. Wouldn't that exclude usage on Graal? Just wondering.

Not if you transfered copyright to someone else, though! Also, uh, generally not if you gave someone else exclusive usage rights already, or something funny like that, I guess.

(Not a lawyer, did not read the Graal rules recently, hate music)

I am pretty sure that would.

I do not see any rule forbidding this.

Jamerson, I believe that it is an infringement of the GraalOnline Terms and Conditions to upload copyrighted music to the server and then play it to the end user. If anything, just stream it. There doesn't seem to be anything that does not allow this.

Oh, that is just an oversight then. I would totally have put it in the rules if I had thought of it.

If you're streaming the music from a separate webserver, then you don't face any copyright infringement liability, neither does Graal. The owner of the webserver that has uploaded it, and made it available for streaming, does. It's the same concept that protects MP3 search engines.

So, as long as the files are being streamed, rather than played from the server, he should be fine. Of course, you should probably heed the webserver's rules, which probably prohibits streaming. If you're in need of good, royalty-free music provider, search for OC Remix.

That sounds a bit questionable. By the same logic, bittorrent trackers are perfectly legal because they just provide links and do not actually store the illegaly distributed material in question.

A lot of the music companies have decided not to go after online copy infringment legally anymore because of the fact its almost impossible to stop it

Well, I usually avoid discussions on the legality of anything bittorrent. I'm no expert on how bittorrent works, but the legality of any online copyright infringement lies in whether or not the work is being copied and redistributed. With bittorrent, it's practically impossible to NOT redistribute the torrents you're downloading. With streaming, though, you're neither downloading nor redistributing.

I heard about this. I have been seeing a lot less MediaSentry on PeerGuardian...

I am refering to whether Graal or the tracker are doing anything legally questionable, not the guys actually downloading the music.

Please stop posting in this forum

That's the PirateBay's logic and it's working for them. They only store a hash on their servers thus companies find it impossible to sue them through Swedish law :)

Yeah, Swedish law. Graal is operating in France and has servers in the US, as far as I know. It is not going to work there. :(

Edit: Also it did not protect PirateBay from being harassed by the police and having their hardware confiscated. I can imagine team Eurocenter would be more than willing to disallow people illegaly streaming music in order to avoid that.

They also got their hardware back since the police had no right to cease it in the first place.

I am sure that comforted them after the huge downtime, loss of ad revenue and all the effort and lawyer money dumped into getting everything back.

This was there response,

private trackers is where its at and heres a snippet to a radio script, now you put the rest of the puzzle together!

Don't bother trying to play MP3's you upload to the graal server since there is just not enough room to work with as well as the 1MB~ download limit so find a webhost you can upload music and link to. http://www.vinden.nl also has a mp3 search! just food for thought.

I can't see any reason why Graal would be liable for streaming content, unless the content is actually hosted on their servers.

Organizations like MediaSentry scanning GraalOnline? There are bigger fish in the ocean.

You've earned yourself a nip in the butt from the moderation team. Might want to do some quick editing. ^^

LOL signing posts is illegal? wtf

If you have MP3's created for your server in question, Stefan can and will raise the download limit as long as you have proof of creation. We had Oinkness record himself and put on YouTube while making the songs to prove the songs for Mythic was ours. :)
