Broadcast online with Pirate Radio


In the spirit of Download Like a Pirate Day, If you want to take to the airwaves and be your own radio broadcaster, Pirate Radio, a PC based internet broadcasting app can help you get your own radio station launched with minimum equipment and no technical skills required. All you need is a PC with a sound card, some audio and a constant connection to the internet.

You can broadcast live with a microphone and live input compatible sound card or a playlist of digital audio files. Your station will put you back only $40 for the software. As for whether or not permission is needed to broadcast music, Pirate Radio recommends you check out RIAA's stance on the issues as well as Save internet radio's opposing view. In any event, Pirate Radio puts the onus on you to be in compliance with the laws of your broadcast area.

Yah, sure there are other ways (some free) to get your pirate station on, but Pirate Radio is turnkey and it has an awesome name.
