    About MP3 licensing

    If I wanted to run a web site that contain a MP3 Flash player for user. And my website is generating revenue with Google Adsense. Do I need apply the MP3 license? Here I'm not mean the MP3 songs' copyrighted but is the mp3 codec license... Here is the web page about the licensing http://www.mp3licensing.com/

    Re: About MP3 licensing

    4) Do I need a license to stream mp3, mp3PRO or mp3surround encoded content over the Internet?

    Yes. A license is needed for commercial (i.e., revenue-generating) use of mp3/mp3PRO in broadcast systems (terrestrial, satellite, cable and/or other distribution channels), streaming applications (via Internet, intranets and/or other networks), other content distribution systems (pay-audio or audio-on-demand applications and the like) or for use of mp3/mp3PRO on physical media (compact discs, digital versatile discs, semiconductor chips, hard drives, memory cards and the like).

    However, no license is needed for private, non-commercial activities (e.g., home-entertainment, receiving broadcasts and creating a personal music library), not generating revenue or other consideration of any kind or for entities with associated annual gross revenue less than US$ 100,000.00.

    If your are making people to pay to listen to the mp3's then you do but if your not making money from the streaming then you don't need to, For the ad's wise it should be k since your not making money from the mp3's themselves.

    I think this belongs in the Scripts & 3rd Party Apps section not in the web design section but i can always be wrong for placements.
