Another question for you guys ... please don't turn this into a war.
I was thinking of setting up a Shoutcast server...I wonder if there's any restrictions or such. Please let me know, because the idea of having my own online radio station would be pretty kewl.

You just can't play copyrighted songs without permission. That's pretty much it as far as I can remember.
It depends on which country you live in. In the U.S. you have to get a liscense with all of these rediculous restrictions and fees.
I'm not too sure about written works though.

Well as far as legality goes there are a lot of indie artists out there. Check out tastyfresh.com and advertise your radio station idea on there. You'll no doubt get loads of Christian music producers replying, asking if you will play their tune ]edit[/b] Heck if this works out we could even make it into an offical caa station

Hey an offical CAA Radio station does not sound like a bad idea. Hey I'll even throw in some of my techno tracks that i make for you guys to stream!:dance:

Hey, that would be so cool if you could work that out! I'm sure there are lots of talented musicians here who could add content.

The current regulatory regime in Canada is that there is none. SOCAN (the organization that oversees and collects royalties) currently has an application before the courts (Tariff 22), that would require a payment of 25 cents per listener from I-radio stations. There would also be an additional charge for commercial broadcasters. Until this is approved however, royalties are not required by law. However, you should still seek to operate in an ethical fashion.

An official CAA station...cool! But we'd need lotsa songs, at least enough for 12 hours to start off with (heck I have more, but with royalties...I have no money x_x)
And I'll check out tastyfresh.com too!
Thanks for the warm support guys, and, Technomancer, what you say?

be warned...
Tastyfresh.com is definately a cool place....but it can get straight dangerous if you get involved in some of the music/gear/spiritual debates...(actually they don't allow spiritual debates now due to it causing silly division amongst the community)
the place is a bridge between christianity and the secular rave scene, so you get a lot of good music and crazy people.....mostly christian djs, producers, and event promotors.....
