Hello, friends... I have some questions... (I'm not sure this is the
place to ask this, but, anyway... I'm sorry if it isn't)
Can a band be sued for giving their songs for free in MP3/WMA format? Or
only the software that plays MP3 has restrictions?
I'd like to make a sort of online radio in ogg... I have a small
personal website, only for hobby, and would like to upload my favorite
songs, and play them randomly... like m3u, pls... I'm not sure how to do
that... and I was hoping to have javascript to automatically play it,
stop, go to next song, etc... maybe it's asking too much... Does anybody
know if this is possible? Where can I learn how to do that, if so?
Do you think open-source enthusiasts should offer proprietary options
too, after all, free software is about freedom, or only the free ones?
Thank you so much
I am not a lawyer, but the licensing of mp3 is for encoding and decoding
mp3 not on it's used. So the ones liable are the people making a decoder
of mp3 (player) or encoders (mp3 creator).
However regardless if you are liable or not, this list is to expand the
use of OGG and I think that having ogg vorbis streamer servers is vital
for the usability of ogg vs. other formats.
