Hi. Is it possible (legally) to stream MP3s on Icecast that have been encoded with LAME encoder (http://lame.sourceforge.net/license.txt)? So if a composer writes a track, then saves in MP3 with LAME, and wants to distribute with Icecast server, is it legal? Must he get license for MP3 (http://mp3licensing.com/royalty/emd.html) and pay any royalties for MP3 DISTRIBUTING or STREAMING as it stated on this site? Or it's only if profit is >$100000 (look link)? (assuming he is a individual person) There is an unclear situation with LAME - can users from Russia legally save a track with LAME to MP3 and commercially use this track? There were some notes on http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/lame_legal_issues.html Thanks Konstantin _______________________________________________ Icecast-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/icecast-dev
