Mercora - New Radio P2P Network

Posted by Hemos on from the excellent-ideas dept.

jtids writes "The maker of P2P Client, Shareaza, is working on a new Radio P2P project called Mercora. This network gives users the ability legally webcast music to other users on the network. Users can also share images, send instant messages, and join groups where they can participate in forums and chatrooms. Although the program itself is still in beta, the project looks promising."

    You are not allowed to do any of the following things:
    * Webcast specific sound recordings within one hour of the request by a listener or at a time designated by the listener

    So at 14:00 I'll request, "Please play Song-A at any time ~except~ between 16:00 and 16:05. TIA" and I'm legal, right?
