You're gonna have to stop using my icescast server if you want to charge
money to access it remotely...

Seriously  though, any number of the components of remote participation
have been provided by volunteers or on a best effort basis even when the

Perhaps dropping the idea of imposing a fee for remote participants

I think everybody who's stated an opinion on this has said that there
would be no fee or a small fee which could be waived for people who
aren't being supported to attend.   MIC/LIC status would certainly be
a relevant factor.
