Hey I came across some links while doing some research on this topic . Please note that this information may not be accurate but at least may point you in the right direction .
It may be worthwhile looking into The Internet Radio Equality Act (US) and Digital Millennium Copyright Act (US). I cannot find any record of similar acts being passed in Kenya yet , But in my opinion this still apply as they mainly address how royalties should be assessed.
Basically if you broadcast music then Statutory license regulations dictate that digital transmissions of public performances of sound recordings need permissions from two sets of copyright owners--the owners of the musical work (usually the songwriter or the composer) and the owners of the sound recordings themselves (usually a record label, unless the artists own their own master recordings ...
Yes you will require a licence from CCK if you are going to be broadcasting from within Kenya . Earlier this year President Kibaki's approved changes to the media law, which limits press freedom. The amended legislation gives government power to control broadcast content on grounds of national security.
I will keep you posted if i find more info
Hello everyone,For instance do I require some license from CCK or any other body?
To those that are familiar with Kenya's legislation,
What would I need to abide to in case I was to start an internet based Radio
or TV station?
Are there international laws that govern this sector?dabnix@gmail.com
Kindly inform me if you have ever been involved on such or have knowledge of
the rounds involved.
Thanks,
