Legal issues in setting up an internet based radio station

As you may know I currently been doing a radio station called Tweaked for your Listening Pleasure and I asked a friend of mine called Dave over at Amazing World Music (yep, same person that provides the music in my videos) about the legal side of it and lets just say there was barely anything out there when it comes to online radio in the United Kingdom.

With that in mind, Dave went out researching and has compiled a report on what he found out. All credit goes to him and hopefully it helps someone else. Just remember none of us are lawyers and well, we can be wrong. Any comments, different view points or if anyone actually is a lawyer in this field – please do comment as we would love know the law exactly.

Is it time for Web Hosting regulations?

When you read this article, be aware I have no issues with small businesses or web hosts, this article is debating should web hosts actually have some form of regulation or make it more “ethical” in the larger sense- read on as I explain many problems I have experienced.

If you are an owner of a website you have likely used many “not well-known” web hosts and if you have, you likely have screwed over at one point. As you may know that if you wanted to get into the web hosting industry you could do it for, well, nothing if you actually looked around.

Tweaked for your Listening Pleasure

Just a bit of news today. First thing first, Tweaked for your Listening Pleasure has officially opened although there is a lot of work left to do in its actual planning. It is currently playing loads of things you likely never heard of before and in future, will have some shows from people you do not care about.

So come on over and listen and all that good stuff.

The second thing is a tiny poll. If you float around on the Facebook or Twitter fan pages, you may notice there is a picture of a puppet of a dolphin which is nameless. If you have any ideas of any names, please do post them in the comments below and I will whack up a poll with the names.

Flick the switch, you dick

It is not often I find something to moan about but I am sure some people driving in cars paid for their licence and not trying to pass it.

For those that drive, I am sure you are aware of the little blinking lights that exist on your car that flash amber – these tell people such as other drivers which way you are going to turn and this also means that people who might be walking or riding a bike can also see which way you plan on turning.

So let’s say you are a driver and you are planning to take a left on a road where you can keep going. You also see a person that is walking and turning around to see what you are doing. Now let’s say you are wanting to go left but do not show which way you plan on going.

Farewell WordPress email updates

It has been a few months now from when I started using WordPress Jetpack for email updates and honestly, it sucks. I am unable to limit which post it sends out, which categories and hell, I can’t delay the sending of it.

What this means is I am switching back to Feedburner for email updates. Now I have seen that there is actually more people on Feedburner than WordPress Jetpack but for those that may have never signed up for the old Feedburner emails you can do so here: Subscribe to Tweaked for your Pleasure by Email.

I will be updating the site to change the email subscription to Feedburner but will be enabling it for the next article. I will leave the old one running for a while and then will slowly get rid of it. I would import the old emails myself, but ethically for those that didn’t sign up for Feedburner would be signing up for something they never want and that is spam.
