Radio Lemmy

Backend is handled by AzuraCast. I upload the tunes by hand from various record pools for which I hold a license to distribute.

Everything is covered by my broadcasting license. Play whatever you want; doesn't matter where you obtained it from. The only thing the RIAA cares about is getting their cut per each song streamed.

Doesn't matter if you paid for them. RIAA and other agencies charge licenses and fees for streaming/public performances.

I have pirate streamed on the internet to small to medium crowds for the last almost 30 years at this point? More than likely this is completely illegal. And it might be fine as long as it stays small and under the radar. As much of the stuff I have done is. But you always run the risk of catching their ire and becoming a target for them to squeeze funds from. Things can get very bad very fast. Personally, I would be completely down with something like this myself. And have plenty of experience for such a thing. But seeing as how it could blow up publicly and the legal ramifications that could come from that. I'd probably wait to see if relevant streaming, licenses etc. Have been obtained. Even if you spend and make nothing from the stream that's not going to stop them from coming after you.

I've never looked into getting the licenses etc. Myself. For a short while I was with a legitimate outfit. I may still have contacts there and might check to see what the cost were. But again, this was well over 10 years ago. I'm sure they've decided to jack their prices a few times since then lol.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page (where the live DJ request form is), then click the "auto DJ request" link. From there you can search the song database. It's kind of in a weird place ATM, I know.
