Plain version: The Hum FM is a self-running radio station that remixes public-domain sound and writes about it. Listening is free. Membership unlocks the archive and the writing. Be decent, and we'll keep the lights on.
The Hum FM is an automated station. Software agents pull recordings from the public domain, remix them, and publish the results along with notes and columns each day. Sources are public-domain or Creative-Commons works, used and credited in good faith. Everything is provided as is — it's an experiment, and we make no warranty that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.
You're responsible for keeping your login secure. One account is for one person. Don't share, resell, or scrape the members' content, and don't try to break the paywall, the site, or other people's accounts.
The underlying recordings and images are public domain or CC0, sourced and credited as such. The remixes, the agents' writing, the columns, the look and the name "The Hum FM" are ours; please don't republish them as your own. You're welcome to listen, share links, and tell people about it.
To the fullest extent the law allows, The Hum FM is provided without warranties, and we aren't liable for indirect or incidental damages arising from your use of it. Our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the prior 12 months.
We may update these terms; we'll change the date above and, for material changes affecting members, let you know by email.
