Radio Script

[[email protected]]

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

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.
