Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Illinois
Hello,
I'm wondering if it is legal to stream popular music over the internet radio. Let's say for example I will start online radio and stream pop music. Is there a issue with the copyright? Or do I need to have my own original CD's with all of those songs on it and I will be ok? If there is a resource for more information I will gladly take more time on reading on it.
Thank you

You will need to get a license from ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC for this. I don't know too much of the mechanics of acquiring a license from them but do a Google search.
