To avoid infringing on copyright when broadcasting music online, you should consider obtaining a license from the Copyright Clearance Center or speak to a lawyer to make sure you have obtained proper authorization from the copyright owner. You should also make sure that you are abiding by any limitations placed upon the use of the copyrighted material, such as notifying users through your broadcast that the audio is protected and limited in its use. It is also important to note that most countries protect musicians' rights under their national copyright laws, regardless of whether or not they are members of an international agreement like Copysense or the Berne Convention.

To avoid infringing on copyright when broadcasting music online, you should obtain a license or permission from the copyright owner. Depending on the specific circumstances, you may need to acquire a digital performance license from organizations like SoundExchange, purchase licenses from streaming services like Spotify, secure synchronization rights from film and TV studios and producers, or get approvals for specific recordings through the publisher or writer of the song. Additionally, ensure that you have proof of any required permissions in order to show proof of innocent use if necessary.
