Look at the radio, every major radio station in the world (except the shitty news ones) wud b closed if it was an issue to play out live tracks, of course - if the radio stations offered to send their entire playlists to everyone that listens for no apparent reason, this would be different. Worst comes to th worst, the game needs to get cut back and the songs deleted - the only real issue is that the record ndustried may be apprehensive about where the song came from, in which case proof of purchase of the album the song was fom is all thats needed, be it heavy metal or a soundtrack - it wont cost too much to buya single CD to shut them up... I wouldnt worry about it, and as such three rock songs aytleast should be going up soon, thre are a few threads in the main forum about this

Actually, you're wrong on the radio station issue. They get to play shit free because they make money on advertising. Then they drop 10% of that revenew or something like that back to the recording industries. That's how they get free songs and the rights to play them.

However, most internet broadcasters got screwed in a recent settlement (acutally like 6 months ago or something like that) where they have to pay royalties per song instead of how the radio stations do it. I think FFR would fall under that sort of broadcast license and would screw synth if he used un-licenced stuff.
