Rockets fans, I'm thinking about setting up a streaming radio server that will stream Sports 610 on game days, so out of towners can listens to the game online. But's I'm not sure if this is legal or not if I do it without the permission from Sports 610. Please give me some advice guys.
Don't know about the legality of it, but I should would love it if you could do it! I know a lot of people would sure appreciate it. Do you know what app I would need if you can? Real player doesnt work through my works firewall.
Well, I'm think use a type of script that similar to the voice chat system, using either activeX or java, so you won't need to use 3rd party software.
You would think that if you arent using it for personal gain or to make money from it you would be ok.
Highly illegal. Here's why: http://www.real.com/partners/nba/index.html?pcode=nba&cpath=web&rsrc=nba_alp_sched
Well, how about this, we all go to a voice chat room on the game night, and I could open the radio on the background, it's legal to chat while listen to radio right?
Nope. It violates the whole "express written consent" thing. You can't rebroadcast NBA games, in video, or audio, without their permission. It does not matter if you are doing it for free. NBA Audio League Pass loses money if someone else rebroadcasts it for free. Thats why you can't do it.
thanks for thinking of us anyway....... Let me know if you decide to do it anyway or come up witha loophole.
I understand it might be "illegal" and probably shouldnt be "associated" with clutchcity but if you kept it on the DL and let only certain people know about it i think you woulndt be caught...but i dunno if its worth that risk....thanks for the thought
