My favorite builder on 3DX There's always a sense of class and elegance to Ana's builds which is only a reflection of her person. Thanks for sharing Ana! <3

Going to be one MAJORLY KICKASS event! Can't wait!

Thank you for inviting the Dangerous Divas and Dudes over to your event. You were a HUGE part in its success! You can't go wrong with MikeyDee, whats left of the Fucktory will surely be brought down by his skills and music selection! Thank you again, on behalf of the whole Diva & Dude crew!

Ouch! That started off with a heated argument right off the bat .. The touchy line is : Keep in mind.. buying the music doesn't make it legal to stream it! Which makes me wonder now .. anyone knows what kind of arrangement SGD has with 181.FM for REstreaming their stations ?

Music licensing IS already stuck in the "older age" as you put it. Bureaucrats that run it are already beyond the times. Out of curiosity, how much is the multi-territory licensing ?? Do you know ? But, Multi country licensing is awesome if the price is right. In the US .. a "blanket coverage" of all the P.R.O's is about 60$ a month .. just for the US .. and ONLY for US based listeners. If a Canadian would connect to the stream hosted in the U.S., then the US station would have 2 choices .. either pay SOCAN (the Canadian P.R.O.) to continue broadcasting in Canada or block any incoming traffic from Canada In your example though of GEMA, you would pay them to be able to broadcast to GERMANS .. your UK listeners wouldn't be covered unless you paid PRS. (unless you take that blanket coverage) That is also why some videos on youtube cannot be accessed .. when you get the "Video unavailable in your country" .. that's a licensing / royalty issue .. and most of the times .. it's blocked from Germany.

Which still doesn't fix the licensing / royalties issues OR for people like me .. that have direct link to the suppliers of said music. I mean no disrespect by the way, I commend people for buying music .. but .. it still is far from being "LEGAL" when we bring the 3DX, or any online, environment "into the mix".

So back to topic .. What does Lussian mean when he asks for us to be "Legal" ?

Live performing rights falls into a different category .. you are a "collector" of those royalties .. IF the venue where you "mix / dj" is a member of the same PRO .. then that venue has to submit a report and then you get paid a few months after(very summarized sorry) Your license country has nothing to do with it. It's who LISTENS in on the stream that matters. So, if you have Americans, Canadians and Germans listening on your stream .. be sure to have paid off the P.R.O's from those countries or they WILL sue you when someone reports you OR if they find out by any other means. I was in a legal battle a few years ago(when i started my internet radio) with Ascap, Soundexchange and BMI who are P.R.O's in the USA and i'm in Canada. I had to block any incoming traffic from the US to all my streams OR .. be fined .. a hefty sum(in the tens of thousands of dollars). Luckily, I found a "blanket coverage" company for Canada and the US of A .. and was just left off with blocking the rest of the world from connecting to the stream. Yes, they're a bunch of blood sucking bureaucrats that collect money under the blanket of "protecting the intellectual property" of the bands .. but ultimately the bands get pennies on the dollars. So technically, if ANYONE wants to be fully licensed(please post how much you're going to be paying! LOL!) .. here's a "list" of the P.R.O's that you'd have to pay off! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_rights_organisation And .. don't get me started on the GEMA .. the German P.R.O. .. those guys are to be taken even MORE seriously than the other ones..

Yeah, that's the kicker .. many people offered services, I was one of them. Thing is, NO ONE can be FULLY licensed to cover all the countries of the players that come into Sin Club. Buying a song doesn't mean you can legally broadcast it. It doesn't give you any rights to stream it, if that was the case i'd be legal because I get most of my music from the labels of the bands I play or the bands directly. But regardless, those rights are covered by the P.R.O.'s (performance rights organizations) of each individual countries and compensation for playing has to be made to each of them. There's is no such thing as a "worldwide" blanket coverage for those rights and that is why there has been a HUGE drop in the number of "LEGAL" internet radio stations over the last years. So, i SERIOUSLY doubt even LUSSIAN is legal, unless he dishes out the $$$ to pay for royalties to each countries that visit Sin OR creates his own music .. and when he, or anyone else, asks YOU to be legal that's a bunch of baloney and only shows they have no clue what being "LEGAL" is all about when it comes to streaming music.

Can't wait! Already seen some of the Diva's playlist and it's going to be ROCKIN' !! Hope to see everyone there!

You are kidding right ? That's the FIRST thing you notice, the advertising .. Must be, since it's the 1st thing you mentioned. Not the useless, although sometimes entertaining, trolls Maybe if WC is used to do promos .. you should, for a rare time, listen to your client base and make a "promo channel" ? The idea is more .. "Let's make people spend their XGold then maybe they'll buy more in the future and will ultimately generate us more revenue.. maybe." .. and tell me how you plan on allowing the room owners(remember the ones that attract people on your servers in the 1st place, that keep them there) to manage the "flame, promo" in THEIR room from other members if you implement this idea ? Who, in your entourage, comes up and actually suggests those ideas to you? Regardless, take a shovel, wind up and take a good whack at them because it's surely not us, I have never seen ANYONE post this on the forums. Link me up if that has been suggested somewhere though. Keep working on stuff your client base does NOT ask for. Rest assured that in time, you won't need to add anything to this game. As for your "useless / helpful messages" comment .. I know you tried moderators before and it didn't work out but, leaving the chat unattended .. what DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN? Maybe it's time you look back into that.
