-- It is the same with radio broadcasting, there is nothing to stop someone from recording the broadcast
But, if you are broadcasting over the radio, or making it possible for other people to hear the music, the Performing Rights Society will expect money from you - in the UK at least, they employ people to listen to radio stations and check the song logs, so that the royalties are claimed, and also (hopefully) for the right people
I don't know if Shoutcast is covered in the same way for this, although I'd bet good money that somewhere in the "All rights reserved" clause, they intend this kind of thing... Be interesting to see what happens in the future on this.
