Flexible and Cheap Personal Broadcasting Using Your Own Computer

If you want to set up a broadcast but either don't want to pay the fees for Live365, go through the trouble of configuring your computer for SHOUTcast, or just cannot devote your computer's time and resources to being a dedicated server, there is still an option. You can broadcast from your computer whenever you want, for practically nothing, using only your dial-up connection (or broadband connection if you have it).

This software is easy to setup and inexpensive. Pirate Radio is an Internet broadcasting product which allows anyone to quickly start their own Internet-based radio station as long as they have a computer and a dial-up connection.
