iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 25, 2004 I would like to sign up for free hosting on this site. But, I have read that you are not allowed to host mp3 files on your website (if I should be so lucky to get the hosting).. My site would be about my city's underground music scene, about few bands playing metal and hardcore music.... These bands are 100% underground, non-comercial, they don't make any money and play for traveling expences..I would like to put their songs in mp3 format for dowload...Would thet be posible?

iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 25, 2004 I doubt it... usually you can only put songs for download if you own them directly, and as far as I know mp3's are not allowed on FNH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 26, 2004 As far as I know, mp3 is (or was) allowed at FNH, but you must have written permission of the authors of the music. Just send them an email. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 26, 2004 You could probably ask them directly, it sounds like you know them. So after a show, ask if they would like to be hosted on the net by you. Then if all goes well you might get to host them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 26, 2004 I am talking about 3 bands. Those 3 bands are made up of 8 people.. I am a part of one band and the 3 people that are in my band play in the other two bands as well.. So, I'd say I know them...:DI am a co-author of the music and there is no problem from our part, just the permission of the hosting provider to post the music up there...

iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 26, 2004 Sounds good to me. But you better check with the bosses upstairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 26, 2004 How do I check with the bosses upstairs? I tought this was the way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 26, 2004 You must get permission from each band to distribute their works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 26, 2004 I dont know how to check with the bosses upstairs. That was just a thing I said.But, you havent applied for hosting, yet, have you? So while you're filling out your application write in "I will have MP3's of my band, and other local bands, I have their permission for the songs" or you know something like that. Then they will definately know for sure who you are, that you are hosting these files and, um, yeah cross your fingers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 26, 2004 And how do I enable the admins to see the permission... Do I note it on the page or? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 26, 2004 I dont know what you mean.But if you fill out an aplication, like normal, and state you will be doing all this, then you can ask them to PM you if they have any concerns over the content to host, maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
