TerryScrew Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 You need a sound capture software (like rocket broadcast or butt), and a server to host the sound (like shoutcast or whatever the server you wanna have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilles Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) I don't think they have build a Alexa for us right now Amazon is like Spotify a closed streaming provider system. Official it's impossible and not legal to use Amazon as streaming Provider for 3DXChat. Edited July 22, 2020 by Chilles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightMist Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Scroll down to Mulan’s post here: It is for Spotify but I use it with iTunes using Apple Music streaming and it works great. Personally I think this is “more legitimate” than ripping stuff off YouTube. Even people who buy the songs per download are still not legally allowed to stream unless they have a public streaming licence which runs into hundreds of dollars per year. It seems kind of crap anyway. I am not running ads or profiting from the music and promoting artists music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryScrew Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 You can stream music as long it's not for profit. So as long it's for personnal use, without profit and you don't share any content it's still legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, I don't stream any music myself, but I did wonder when I read this whether streaming it in a game that is for profit (SexGameDevil's) puts a different spin on the legality of the situation .

Please do provide me with the link to any such ruling from the major P.R.O.`s (Ascap, Socan, BMI, SoundExchange .. etc..etc.) as the rules might have changed from when I was streaming more 'professionally'. AFAIK, Internet Radio's (even the ones that do not make ANY kind of profit) OR any other entity that streams copyrighted material have to be licensed to broadcast legally on ANY platform and even then, there are a multitude of other sub-rules that exist to control what they do. And .. HEY TERRY! Nice to see you! Edited July 27, 2020 by Stellania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And .. HEY TERRY! Nice to see you! nice to see you too Stelly ^^ So BMI, Ascap etc... they all talk about copyright for something commercial or non commercial with large audiences, Web Radios for exemple even if non profit are free to access by anyone But we talk about personnal usage not worldwide broadcast when you listen your music in 3Dx or when you mix the copyright doesn't work the same. and it's complicated in those area. cause even BMI etc can't do anything about it. there's no strict rules for personnal use. unless you share the music (wich mean provide a downloadable link, or illegaly download it or make people pay to listen to it. To give you an exemple i use Soundcloud for my mix, but i don't pay anything to use the service neither the people listening to the mix. is it illegal ? no ofc. otherwise no one will try their luck. it's the same when you listen music in your car. do you get sued because of it ? no ofc. Or if you play music in your house with friends listening with you ? is it illegal ? again no it's not. That's why i said it's complicated. it's still under the personnal use with non commercial usage. Laws always have their gap where they not apply.

Stellania Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Yes, I understand your point .. I was asking about the rulings on that because I used to administer / own a Canadian web radio registered with SOCAN and the PRO's in the USA. We had reports to file every month about airplay and profits .. even if we weren't generating any kind of revenue and we still had to pay a Royalty fee to be able to stream the content legally. Of course those fees were less than those that were generating a profit BUT there still was a fee to pay. Don't want to get in an big explanation as this has been discussed many many times here before. I do agree that 'Personal Use' is a pretty 'vague' statement though and can lead to many interpretations and legal debates. I wouldn't know about 'MIXING' my own creations, from what I'm getting .. that IS your intellectual property (unless using samples from someone else) Music in your car, music in a bar(or any other venue) is different .. the broadcasters HAVE paid the royalties in accordance to their platform(fees vary from platform to platform) But I agree, it's a big pile of spagetti that's very difficult to untangle!
