Help with Licensing...please...

[bud123]

I run a small social networking site (for one Asian community) from the UK.
I would like to add an online streaming feature where members can listen to Asian songs (Non-English) while they visit the site. I do not intend to advertise via this radio stream; thus there will be no revenue generated via that.

1. what license do I need?
2. Even-though non of the artists live here in the UK, how does the license help them? (I understand the license is meant to safeguard the artist interest)
3. What is the cheapest option available in terms of licensing, for me? (If it is going to cost me lots then I would not do this.)

Please kindly help.
Thanks

Hi bud123,

Any questions regarding such licensing would need to be addressed to the PPL we are afraid as we are not able to assist you with this. The following forum thread may also be of some assistance to you: http://forum.internet-radio.com/faq/10-do-i-need-license.html

Best of luck with it and please just let us know if you have any more questions in regards to our server hosting that we can assist you with at all. Thanks.
