Playing music in your home with friends is far different than playing music is a commercial place such as a bar. At home, it's entertainment. At a bar, it draws in customers who spend money. Two different situations. Some bars would not hire live bands for that reason, instead going with jukeboxes. The monthly fee for the jukebox covered what ever fees that were to be paid by the jukebox owner. I understand some bars were visited by BMI or ASCAP reps checking if the bar had paid to perform the music. Could be a rumor, but something to think about. TRIVIA: When 'WKRP in Cincinnati' ran on CBS, artists loved their actual songs played during episodes. Helped album sales. The late Hoyt Axton debuted "Della and the Dealer' on one segment. Problem was the royalty's only covered first run and some reruns. No one thought about syndication. When 'KRP' was syndicated, some sound alike bands were used singing generic music fills where the original songs were placed. Eventually, the royalty problem was solved and approximately 93% of the original songs were placed back in and DVD's of the series were sold.

Buying CD's is still the same. You own a physical COPY and not the actual contents of the compact disk. I know people who would buy a vinyl album and transfer it to cassette for playing in the house or car while keeping the vinyl as pristine as possible. You are doing nothing different except for formats. That's acceptable. Finite is correct "It's not attitude though. It's a fact. Read the fine print when you buy a CD. By broadcasting the music you are redistributing it.". The ***** of the bunch is always the small print.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest you contact BMI and ASCAP what the charge would be on a website. LIMB: How many listeners do you have/expect? Is the material to be used in a movie or television program? If so, how is it used? Will it be performed live? How many listeners do you have/expect? Is this material being used in a commercial or non-commercial presentation? How many listeners do you have/expect? The last question is key. Shows the 'market' size and potential cost of license. A 50kw Clear channel (NOT the company) radio shop in California will pay more in licensing than some 1kw day-timer shop in Louisiana. On that note, I'm assuming a DJ in SL will have an audience of maybe 50 (argument sake) on a constant basis. This DJ gets BMI/ASCAP compliant, the DJ will probably pay a fee that can be placed on the Visa or MasterCard. That fee will be used to be distributed to the various artists and writers. How do they know what music is played? A bi-yearly week long survey sent out by BMI and ASCAP. Note what songs were performed, the artist, the song writer. Contact BMI and ASCAP for specifics. We are not copyright lawyers, so any answer given here could be on target or just a bit low and outside. You did not buy the music. You purchased a license to listen to it. The publishers still own it.

I believe I've found the problem. For a reason, my avatar didn't take the LAQ Next Level skin. I'll book the Izzies link just in case.

Under the Maitreya, yes. I'm in BoM mode.

I dislike reviving a dead discussion, but I have the same problem. Only difference I am not wearing a shoe base. Looks like frost bite on feet. Any suggestions?

It would probably help if the owner of the region is away for an extended time for some reason. I sail the North Sea when I'm in a sailing mood. Twice, I've been booted off at sim crossings (moody crossings. We know them well). First time I went back to where I was sailing and flew in the direction I was traveling. Got lucky and found my boat (now a ghost boat) chugging along. Landed on it and sailed home to the Fruit Islands. Second time, same Sea, same circumstances, but when I went back, I could not locate the boat. Figured it was eaten by the powers that be at sim crossings and went home (yes, I looked in my lost and found folder...nada). About a week 1/2 later, I get an IM asking if I had lost a boat. "Yes I did". The person gave me the coordinates of where it was located. I went there and sure enough, still chugging along but up against some rocks next to someones home. A happy sail back to Fruit Islands was in store. Moral of the story: If the owner had set a return time on their parcel, I probably would have gotten my boat back in minutes after losing it, 'stead of a week 1/2 later. Ghost boats exist. If you come across one in a part of the sea and seems out of place, IM the owner. They'll be very happy to know and will pay it forward.

I applied for a DL at Belli about two months ago. Still waiting for it (the app did state it could be a while). Didn't notice a license plate application.

I was caught by a speed cam on Route 8 and 'issued' a speeding ticket. Only point of bring this up is bragging rights. A speeding ticket. In Second Life. Soon a highway officer might pull me over and ask for license, registration and proof of insurance. If that happens, I'll think this has gone too far. I'll plead 'traveler' not a driver. This RP could be fun.

Yes they did but the documentary digs deeper. The comment of 'Beverly Hills Cop' refers to Det. Gil Hill (credited in the B.H.C. movie as Gilbert R. Hill playing the role of Inspector Todd, Axel Foleys immediate supervisor). In RL, he was a high ranking detective with the Detroit Police Dept and likely played a very large part to why White Boy was held for so long in prison. Hill was a very dirty cop. It's a fascinating presentation.

Netflix is currently showing this documentary. After viewing it, I won't watch "Beverly Hills Cop" the same way.
