Why did it all begin , was it because there was nothing to listen to on the radio.
Broadcasting via stream from your home started back in 1995 . The terms Internet radio is a digital audio service transmitted via the Internet. Broadcasting on the Internet .This has made internet radio particularly suited to and popular among expatriate listeners. Nevertheless . As the software audio players became available, "many Web-based radio stations began springing up." In 1995. In fact it has been a long legal path too which was fought and reached DCMA approval since before long before 2019 under reference 32338 - Copyright for music the BMI made a decision which was ground breaking in regard to copyright of music and was warmly welcomed by the digital audio services :

Yes, it is legal to convert the audio format of legally purchased copyrighted material and playback for your personal use. No, it is not legal to resell copyrighted material without a license to do so. That is, it is only legal to redistribute and resell copyrighted material if either you are the copyright holder or you have obtained a license from the copyright holder to do so. Many free licenses like the GNU Public License, Creative Commons Licenses, BSD license, and so on do expressly convey the right to redistribute and resell copyrighted material.
Hi George, LSL Alias George Orellana key e674724e-5d43-4655-bf01-f43691a5c767
Actually you do not require any licensing to stream music in SL, according to a BMI representative to whom I personally asked this question speceifcaly about SL. BMI (Broadcast Music Inc,) as you know collects licensing fees on behalf of music performers. I have shared this email on these forums before but here it goes again.
Hi George,
In response to your inquiry below, the licensing obligation falls on the website from which music is made available. Therefore, if the music is appearing somewhere other than your own website, you are not responsible for securing a Public Performance license for that use.
Thanks,
Music that Works for You
