I have a digital satellite radio broadcast recording, a webcast recording, or audio material taken from a digital TV broadcast. Is it allowed?
First, of course, the torrent must be in compliance with our Terms of Service for Acceptable Artists and Bands. If the stream is lossy: Digital broadcasts and webcasts are almost all compressed lossily nowadays. Lossily compressed material is generally not allowed except when the following crtiteria is met: 1. It is known that there is no lossless (better quality) source at the trading community’s disposal; and either the lossily compressed material is shared in its original compressed format, even if that prevents dividing it into tracks; otherwise, if the stream was transmitted at a bit rate of 192 kb/s or greater (for spoken [but music-related] content, 64 kb/s or greater), it may be shared in a lossless compression format. 2. Both the description and the internal info file of the torrent must state the compression format and the bit rate of the broadcast. Broadcast networks like Sky Digital and Freeview as well as acronyms such as DVB, DAB, and ADR all represent lossily compressed
