The music/movie/software industry does need to look at some better measurements of the money that they are missing out on though. Most people would not buy 3/4 of the stuff they have downloaded via the P2P networks.

168543 2003-08-19 23:03:00 Who is the music authority in NZ to contact regarding all this information.
I would really like to know how much they would charge for all this.

168544 2003-08-19 23:15:00 They'll probably demand your first born and then launch a large law suit against you on the suspicion that you may have, at some stage in the past, illegally downloaded files or (heaven forbid..) perhaps taped some songs off the radio in your teenage years!!

Damn recording industry Nazis!!

168545 2003-08-20 03:07:00 Yer Muki, perhaps call from a payphone, don't give any details about yourself, be brief and limit the call to 2 mins, and then run like hell. :) PoWa (203)
168546 2003-08-20 03:26:00 LOL!!
Muffle your voice as well.
Then run Muki -- run for your life!

168547 2003-08-20 03:34:00 Try the Australasian Performing Rights Association (www . apra . com . au ?), which is the non-profit association of composers and performers . They have a NZ branch .

There is also Phonographic Perfomance NZ Ltd .

It seems that licences from both ( . restaurantnz . co . nz/news . asp?view=yes&pageID=355" target="_blank">www . restaurantnz . co . nz) might be needed .

Try "performing rights" to Google . :D

168549 2003-08-20 03:49:00 if your dentist friend has internet access in his surgery he/ she should tune in to the paradise.nets streaming music page for a whole range of choice sounds, from classical to downtempo and not be limited to the music you supplied him/ her with, otherwise go hard and share... dotcommander (4338)
168550 2003-08-20 03:49:00 Not a very mature attitude. ;-)

Playing copyright recorded music in public (which is widely defined ... includes "music" played on telephone hold) requires a licence, so that the performers and composers can get some reward. The fact that the place is public means that it is obvious. The licencing organisations can (and will) prosecute. This could be expensive. As I suggested earlier, the fact that the music is not even from purchased (so no money has reached the performer/composers) would be likely to make it even more expensive. :_|

What you do in your own home might be illegal, yet you can often get away with it. If you do things in public, consequences are more likely.
