In this episode of Monitor, I explain how to start your own legal radio station. I point listeners to an excellent article on Webcasting Legality by Jamie Zawinski at: http://www.dnalounge.com/backstage/webcasting.html. I show how you can take care of music licensing through LoudCity.com and explain why you will need the Nicecast broadcasting software and why you need to rent a Shoutcast server. For more information on Webcasting also see my article on Broadcasting into Second Life.
