In thinking how to connect the streaming community and some holiday #joinIn we assembled the fedi's distributed New Years Day 24 Stream Parade. #NYD24Parade
Here is our debrief with community feedback from the event. Happy to see such comradery and sparks to get involved with self and community powered broadcasting.
@radiofreefedi While I was listening to your radio I was actually wondering if you're planning on adding another station where you play music the streaming community can use in the background while they stream.
(As I've understood not all of the music you stream is under CC licenses, so those songs wouldn't be allowed to be streamed by other people.)
Even if you weren't planning on doing that, picking out artists I like and adding them to a playlist is really cool.
@Radgryd Correct on the mixed licensing, we pormote and pass along the artists preferrred license at a per track levek.
As per our website, all music we play regardless of license is explicitly consented for play on RFF format only and not for rebroadcast.
We built this as a test case but we do not have the resources for the retroactive onboarding of 350 artists with stream friendly channel(s) as an option, nor to fork, curate and sustain more channels at this time.
@radiofreefedi Thank you! This was the answer I was looking for.
Alright, so it's listening to the artists and visiting their websites individually to learn more and see if their music is allowed to be streamed! 😊
For now. I'm really digging the mix of things and it would be perfect for streams.
@Radgryd Our nowplaying resources and website list every track's license and the artist's primary or most restrictive license on record respectively.
There's a fair bit of open license variations on the list that may suit a non commercial attribution use.
We were building an OBS friendly web player embed to take care of the attribution and linking and the obligation to consent RFF would gather on behalf, but spoons, weeks of admin re-gathering consent, and sustaining more channels are barriers
@Radgryd If not enough artists were interested in offering music we would have further dimininished pool.
One of the flaws of our fast growth and being microblog based is poor group comms tools. We've some stop gaps and co-dev relationships toward better, safer community organising and group tools. Things like this might be better mobilised in the future. Another reason this was put on the backburner.
Cheers for the interest so artists might see some value in an amiable way to work together.
