That sounds nice and all, but the closest "local" IP attorney is over 300 miles from me. Not to mention, if your going after someone local, sometimes local attorneys don't want to get involved. Just my experience...

Obviously we aren't putting audio from the chaser up. We're just streaming a feed where we cut between radar, streams, etc and talk about it.
I realized I had mute set for the firefox code. My mistake.
I fixed it, so everyone should hear audio next time.
The audio comes from Kenny Allen, Kory Hartman or one of our other moderators (Johnathan Brouwer has also moderated) talking and explaining what is going on - It's almost what you'd expect from a TV station that breaks into coverage, only we're doing it for the entire nation.
But Bill, rest assured, nothing you say is being transmitted
Just your video.

So when you moon the camera - you can say whatever you want

I can just picture it now... Rob is on the air saying "Now we're going to go to Ben's cam..." and I run out in front of the cam and drop my drawers and moon the cam. Ratings would fall dramatically after that!

Actually, this is another idea for how to handle streaming video theft being broadcast by unlicensed TV stations.

When I was watching Steve Miller's feed a week or two ago, he had audio. Was listening to some Bohemian Rhapsody. Good stuff!

I never said chasers who stream or whatever deserve to be stolen from...I just said they should expect it. I've nothing against any chaser broadcasting their every move 24/7 (that's what it's coming to), but at the same time, complaining about theft just seems moot.
Just my humble opinion, it certainly doesn't matter in the 'big picture'.

I contacted Carolyn....and now I basically have to gather the evidence. Going to send my video in to get it registered later this week on a data DVD disk. Can I send the stations coverage in that has my stream on it to register as well?
Anyway, apparently I have a VERY strong case and if they don't settle out of court it would be pretty stupid. We shall see and I will keep you updated.

Must have been Steve from Oklahoma because I know we dont have sound setup on ours (steve tx). At least I hope not. Would hate to have to watch what I am saying as much as watching my driving..grrrrrrr
Now if it was Shane on there it would be fun to listen in. I have heard plenty of his "in car" sound bites and still laugh abou them.
Geez, I hope it wasn't me - I can only imagine what I say during a chase.
I'll be streaming at HamWx.com today starting from a little southwest of the OKC metro if anyone is interested in watching. For any media interested in stealing my stream, please call the 800# below the stream first - I'm sure we can work something out - ha!
I WILL be mooning the cam every few minutes to ensure theft is kept to a minimum.

All I can say is, man, you cuss like a drunken sailor who's also a truck driver...
Naw, just messin with ya. All I heard was some Queen and a cell call form what seemed to be a TV outlet - asking if you were watching anything good.
The funniest was about 3 weeks ago, when there was that isolated supercell north of Dallas. You got out and were in front of the cam...great vid of a gorgeous meso, and you turned to the cam and gave a quick devil horn hand sign. I was laughing my ass off!

No, only register the stream that you created -- do not try to register a capture of the TV stations coverage. Not only would that not work, but you'd probably be breaking the law for knowingly registering content that isn't yours (i.e., any graphics, commentary, etc that the news station provides.)

That's what I thought, Ryan. Thanks for giving me clarification though!
