| 531765 | 2008-09-02 00:34:00 | From the APRA website . Q . APRA already charges radio stations a licence fee to broadcast music . Why is another fee payable? ( . apra . co . nz/html/faq . php?id=5263#top" target="_blank">www . apra . co . nz) A . Under the Copyright Act, music composers have a number of different rights that enable them to make a living from their work . They have the right to authorise the communication (broadcast, transmission, diffusion) of their music – hence the APRA licence for radio stations – and, quite separately, the right to control the public performance of their work . Businesses that play music via a radio, TV or other means are giving a public performance of the music and therefore need an APRA licence . But if you were working in a factory or office, surely that it not a public place? Yep, that’s what they say, but I have reservations about the copyright clause . My understanding is that copyright on music lapses after a period of time, so I wonder how you’re supposed to know if there is a copyright in force? Maybe a radio stations should announce before each record the status of the copyright . :D |

| 531766 | 2008-09-02 01:28:00 | I've got news for you B.M - it's all copyrighted. As a rule, music old enough to be out of copyright does not get played on commercial stations. | Erayd (23) | ||

Maybe a radio stations should announce before each record the status of the copyright . :D The situation regarding copyright is much worse than may be commonly known . Bear in mind that much or most of the western worlds popular music and jazz comes from America, so the US copyright ghouls wield immense power and influence in all countries regardless of what the local laws may be . In 1998 the Sony Bono Copyright Extension Act was passed that extended copyright on music retrospectively backwards by another 20 years, so that music which had been in the public domain now came back into copyright . Also consider that for 1920s/30s music that was recorded on 78rpm records, virtually all the original composers and musicians are long dead . "For pre-1978 works still in their original or renewal term of copyright, the total term is extended to 95 years from the date that copyright was originally secured . " . keytlaw . com/Copyrights/sonybono . htm" target="_blank">www . keytlaw . com . wikipedia . org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org The copyright ghouls have already successfully forced the closure of some websites that used to allow download of 1920/30s dance and jazz music . Now the same power mad ghouls are determined to see the end of streaming audio, not just current pop music but also music from the 20s/30s/40s which by any ethical measure should be within the public domain . |

| 531769 | 2008-09-02 19:51:00 | Indeed the worlds copyright Laws are a minefield and for those interested you'll find this link worth a look. www.med.govt.nz If the 50 years applies in NZ, then an awfull lot of Elvis's stuff is now out or nearly out of copyright. :eek: |

| 531770 | 2008-09-03 05:48:00 | The stuff on UTube seems to be free. They play stuff from Alanis Morissette and other artists and you see the performer too. Maybe the time is coming when this will end too ! Misty :crying |

| 531772 | 2008-10-02 17:29:00 | New Law Passes to Keep Internet Radio Safe—For Now www.popularmechanics.com Last week limited download sites like Rhapsody came to an agreement with the Recording Industry Association of America. Congress has stepped in to keep Internet radio going, at least for a while longer. The Webcaster Settlement Act passed the House on Saturday and the Senate yesterday and now awaits President Bush's approval. If the president signs the bill into law, something that's a formality at this point, according to Westergren, then CRB's expensive royalty rates wouldn't take effect until February 15, giving Internet radio stations and the music industry until then to work out a deal. |

| 531773 | 2008-10-04 12:21:00 | If you listen to internet radio stations, then el tougho, they are about to end due to the massive royalty payments being demanded by RIAA. You're not supposed to pirate software/music/films etc for free either... |

| 531774 | 2008-10-04 18:52:00 | You're not supposed to pirate software/music/films etc for free either... You haven't read the theads properly, pirating is a totally different issue to streaming radio. In any case Im more concerned about the effect on streaming music composed and played so long ago that the the composers and musicians are long since dead. |
