Open Radio rules
Русский · Draft, revision 1. A lawyer for the country where the service runs must review it before publication.
What this is
Anyone can take a free frequency and broadcast music and voice. Anyone can turn the knob and listen. The service is free and provided “as is”, with no guarantee of availability or sound quality.
Who can broadcast
Only people aged 18 or older. By going on air you confirm your age and accept these rules. Anyone can listen.
The host is responsible for the air
Everything heard on your frequency is your responsibility, both voice and music. Play only what you have the right to broadcast: your own music, freely licensed music, or music you hold the rights to. The owner of the service does not choose, listen to or record the air and is not responsible for its content to the extent permitted by applicable law. mp3 files are not uploaded anywhere: they play from your browser.
Not allowed on air
- threats, harassment, insults based on nationality, religion, gender and the like;
- sexual content and any content involving minors;
- calls to violence, selling illegal goods, recruiting, fraud;
- impersonating another person or organization, broadcasting other people's conversations without consent;
- advertising and spam, holding frequencies with bots.
Everyone sees the station and track names — the same rules apply to them.
Reports and bans
A listener who has stayed on a frequency for at least a few seconds can press REPORT. The first report gives the station a yellow card. When two different listeners report it within a week, the air is closed for the host for good. A ban closes only going on air: you can still listen to the radio. Reports from brand-new visitors are accepted but do not count — so one person can't ban anyone from several windows.
The radio and Kontakt are one service: the owner can close both the air and calls at once. A ban is tied to the browser through a persistent cookie. Evading a ban is not allowed. If you were banned by mistake, write to the owner of the service.
What data the service has
- The air goes live and is not stored anywhere.
- The kontakt_id cookie: a random browser number. It is needed only for bans. It can't tell anyone who you are.
- The moderation database keeps a hash of that cookie, where a ban applies, reports (not who reported — only a fingerprint that can't be linked to the reporter) and dates without time. Nothing else.
- The service does not log IP addresses, station names or track names. Hosting and network providers see IP addresses under their own rules.
If something happened
If someone threatens people on air or you know about a crime, contact the police. If you are having a hard time, call a helpline in your country.
