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
