Let's clear up some things.
1! It's been mentioned before: Graal will not lag at all. The joys of streaming, that MP3 will not touch a bit of Graal's bandwidth or even its servers. It will pass right to your computer as if you were playing it off of the site. Graal is simply the medium, a means of playing the song... no different than Winamp or WMP.
2! Illegal songs may be hosted, but that is not Graal's problem! That's the problem of whoever is hosting the illegal songs, which is usually the website's problem. Again, in this situation of streaming songs, Graal is simply no different that Winamp or WMP. The only legal problems may be the distribution of links to illegal downloads... but simply don't show the url's. I guess this could turn into a debate of downloading vs streaming, in the end though streaming is still downloading... but the file isn't actually being saved onto the computer. Either way, at the most they'll just send Graal a Cease and Desist e-mail.
What would REALLY be interesting, which is something that players used to do on a game I used to play, was actually host a real radio station. There is a site that lets you host a radio station, and it gives you a link to give to people that will stream it. You can talk on it, much like a DJ, and play any songs you want, and simply link the radio player on Graal to the multiple URL's of players stations. I'll have to find the link for that. |
