Thanks for sharing this! I have in program to make some live streams in the future, while composing, just chatting or maybe djing - don't know if it would cause copyright infringement though.
So what better place to start if not on Hive? I just need to consolidate my internet connection and I'm ready to go 😁

Oh I just literally responded to this in my previous comment to you on the other post, in relation to setting up a regular hangout or show using HiveStreams.Live. I now have my shiny new desktop computer set up with a high spec webcam and Bang & Olufsen speakers integrated! I'm a happy chap! So I am all set up and good to go now. There's no need to worry about copyright infringement as I have been speaking with @sircork and he assures me it's all covered and there should not be any issues.
Well, what I actually said was, I'll let anything fly until it endangers my legal life, or financial life as the sole operator of the website. If I get letters from lawyers or law enforcement, the stream gets informed to stop doing whatever it is and if they do so, cool, if not, they get blocked from using the site.
I'm just a regular guy who made a website. Not gonna catch charges or fines on somebody else's behalf. So make your own content, don't steal other people's and you'll probably be fine.
Yeah sure that makes sense. But doing cover versions of copyrighted songs, so long as it's obvious it is someone simply covering a song in their own style, wouldn't have any legal implications would it?
Based on anecdotal youtube observation, that seems to be somewhat subjective. I don't think covers are an issue, but some artists and IP owners seem to. Your mileage (or kilometerage?) may vary.
