Hey everyone, I don't really know the policy for vent and its channels but I had an idea for one. I often enjoy listening to music and talking about it, so perhaps we could have a music channel on vent?
Not just a channel for listening and discussing music, but perhaps sharing music we have created?
Like I know quite a few of you play the guitar, and I play the organ, so perhaps if we've got something we would like to play for some people....
If this idea had been suggested before just turn it down, but from what I see a lot of us here love music.

It is a good idea, Ryan, with one problem that I can see. The legality of broadcasting copyrighted music may be questioned. Even if it is over a private channel like our Ventrilo server it may be problematic. I will let those who know better answer this one though.

I don't really feel that it would become a huge issue. The only sharing would be over vent, there wouldn't be any transfers going on. I don't think that would be considered illegal because its basicly like walking by someone with a boombox and hearing songs playing. The main purpose wouldn't be to share music with one another though, it would be to discuss the latest music or music we have created. It also could serve as a place for us to gather and hear some of the members sing, I hear a few of you have beautiful voices. I'm wondering though what everyone else thinks, any comments?

You mentioned putting up music we've created? Or do you mean other artists and stuff?

Both of them actually, music we\'ve made, and music we enjoy listening to. (of course it would have to be music that followed the rules)

I don't know...maybe look for regulations about it? If there's a rule about not broadcasting copyrighted music, then of course we can't do it. I don't see why there would be one...it'd be almost the same as radio.

If it's our own music then of course we can play it
As far as other music, despite being very rampant ex. myspace, I'm pretty sure that no more then 30 seconds can be played legally

There actually is regulation that prohibits the playing of copyrighted material to the "general public" in a business or other establishment. However as long as there were no transfer, and the music were just played over the vent server (which by nature is not a public forum), it should be all right. It would really be no different than having friends over and playing the CD/record/radio. Now if the vent server were a public server, that would be different.  YBIC, Pathfinder2072 |

Yo ryan, i think thats a great idea...when there is no one on vent or something, you could just pop on and listen to music  ~Rebel (Matt) |
