| 791849 | 2009-07-15 21:37:00 | One cafe owner thought that a good way round this is to play the radio. sadly she will find this isn't a way out. I was under the impression that all radio stations pay a fee to APRA. Does this mean APRA collects multiple times for the one playing? |

It's similar to you buying a DVD, you don't have the rights to show it to paying customers. If you are interested the details are all on the APRA site http://www.apra.co.nz |

Same thing applied - you have to pay a licence fee to play music from a radio station or commercial cd. We downloaded some royalty free music (creative commons) and made a cd and they were happy with that. |

| 791853 | 2009-07-16 01:39:00 | I remember reading something just 2-3 months ago from the CEO of RIANZ, who said that a licence fee does not need to be paid in order to play the radio in a shop. Has something changed recently? | Nermal (7077) | ||

| 791855 | 2009-07-16 01:57:00 | In the US, some restaurants have "Super Bowl" dinners with beer, snacks and things, playing the Super Bowl on a large screen TV for the patrons. It was declared illegal since the patrons have to pay for the beer/food etc. Now, they call it "Free Super Bowl" and get away with it if they don't charge for the chow and grog. Find a loophole......... |

I've only been to your neck of the woods once in 1976 - I'm the Big Bad Bob brought up in Bristol before being brought here as a boy . |

| 791858 | 2009-07-17 03:09:00 | It's all a crock of **** to get more money. What about contractors/builders/the like playing a radio while working? The radio station already is paying through the nose to broadcast the song a few dozen kilometers, where anyone can tune in for free, legally. A radio 'broadcasting' audio over a radius of 10-15 meters is no different, with the exception that the audio is in a listenable form. So it's illegal for a cafe owner to play a radio in the background, but if every customer were to bring in their own personal radio, that would be legal? Again; it's all a crock of **** to get more money. **** them. |
