Since Live365 closed its doors, we switched over to Radionomy, which offers streaming services andpays royalties much the same way that Live365 operated. Located in Belgium, this service seemed to be what we needed here at Vinyl Voyage, as paying for royalties ourselves would be too cost prohibitive.
For the last 23 days, we have been doing quite well, actually. We've had listeners all over the world and have boosted our average daily listening hours to just around 100--something we never achieved with Live365. Not bad for three weeks. Commercials, inserted by Radionomy, have been regularly playing twice every hour. Things seemed good.
Too good, it appears.
Today, all of the Radionomy servers went down worldwide. Technical problems or something more?
It just so happens that Radionomy was sued today by Sony Music and other labels for copyright infringement. According to the lawsuit, Radionomy has not been paying the necessary royalties.
No word from Radionomy, however. So all of us who stream via the Radionomy service--and there are upwards of 50,000 stations all over the world using Radionomy--now do not have a platform.
How long this will go on, we are not sure. But, after going through everything with Live365, I am not too optimistic.
If Radionomy has not been paying royalties as promised, that is a problem. But, on the other hand, getting rid of small radio stations run by hobbyists like myself has been a goal of record labels for the past few years.
And in the end, everybody loses.
The idea only consequently comes about that will Radionomy ended up being sued right now by simply Sony Tunes and also other trademarks pertaining to copyright laws infraction. Good legal action, Radionomy will never be paying out the essential royalties.
ReplyDeleteDefinately,
DeleteAs you may have read in the news, Radionomy, Inc. has been sued by Sony Music and a number of its record labels for, among other things, failing to obtain, comply with and/or pay royalties under the necessary licenses to make digital audio transmissions of sound recordings.
ReplyDeleteScores of stations hosted and transmitted by Radionomy and listed in the TuneIn directory have also been the subject of notifications of claimed infringement sent to TuneIn by Sony Music.
Out of an abundance of caution and pursuant to the TuneIn End User License Agreement and Terms of Service, TuneIn has decided to unilaterally remove or disable access to all stations that appear to TuneIn to be hosted by Radionomy.
We are ready to keep it up and ready to teach provided you are ready to learn.

They also canceled payment for producers in the US. But I never expected that.
ReplyDeleteI love producing & getting the artist sounds around the world, so people can listen, find out they like it and go buy the artist music.
Radionomy is a great site:
