Would I get SUED?

[Drunkentig3r]

I'm considering setting up a Shoutcast station to play some music for my guild members. Right now I have music playing in Ventrilo, but it would be nice to set up something of better quality. The average number of listeners that tune in is around 6-10 people. I would only be playing music (licensed, but still) for a few friends and family members-would I get sued or get in serious trouble? I mean, I'm not going to be making any money off the shoutcast station, I'm not going to be advertising a product, and I will be playing for a miniscule audience-just friends and family.

I know there are several professionals that visit this website and forums on a daily basis, some of whom are lawyers. Any general legal advice (without going into details since I'm not your client), would be greatly appreciated.

Most likely no one will notice. Password protect the stream if you're really worried.

Doubt it on the fact I see a bunch of shoutcasts doing it...
You can also do what Heisenberg stated.

Drunken Tiger is good stuff.
