Live streaming should always be free!!!

[nhscannerman]

I would like to deeply express a major concern on this Live Streaming issue.


First of all I understand that it will cost some money but what about those who would like to broadcast but can NOT come up with the loot to do so? I was a broadcaster for IBN in which it was free but IBN was shut down for good because of the lack of donations. I myself would like to assure you all that I am not really barking on this issue but as far as that goes there are some who have low income and can not afford like $5.00, $20.00 or more. Plus some of us does NOT have a credit card. I also stand by the law of the free information act of 1970 in which allows us to enjoy the information.

Streaming/Money Issue

Even I have no clue...

Wonder if he's talking about this --> http://forums.radioreference.com/li...y-june-premium-feed-broadcaster-offering.html

The feeds would still be free, just some additional services for the provider for $15 a month from what I can see.

I was thinking the same thing

Live streaming is free. In fact, RadioReference is very generous and offers free premium memberships for those that keep their feeds up. I think that's a pretty sweet deal in my opinion.

Streaming is always 'free', other than paying for your internet connection.

Now, being allowed to use a specific streaming aggregator, to be 'on' the 'hip' site, that's another question. No one has a 'right' to be linked through radioreference, or any other specific site.

Anyone can aquire software to stream, though of course most fail to realize that doing so is usually a violation of their user aggreement with their ISP, since it's typical for a home ISP account to include a user aggreement that prohibits running a 'server'. This usually doesn't matter unless you show up as an 'overuser' of bandwidth, though.
