Re: FLASH: copyright permission

[Dave Broz]

Hi....


I know in Australia  there is an agency called APRA  (Australian Performers

Rights Association) who negotiate the collection of royalties on behalf of

bands, performers etc...  they have a form that  you fill out as a

broadcaster (they even now have a category for netusage / internet

broadcasting) ... I know there is a similiar agency in Canada and the US and

they too will probably now have a policy for net broadcasting.., though the

name of it slips from me at the moment...  hmmm... in canada I think it is

called SOCAN (society of  composers authors and music publishers of canada)

.  Basically you pay for the time used.  (usually measured for broadcasting

in 30secs units) if you only use 10secs you still pay for 30.   I think a

good place to start to find out about this is  your local radio station as

they are always filling out these forms for every piece of music broadcasted

and I am sure they could point you in the right direction..


also as cheri suggested, you should also contact the arist/record company

for usage rights, because sometimes they can be a bit "funny" about what

their music is associated with..  ...particularily for the net you will need

their permission.


always allow lots of time for this process,  it can be a bit bureaucratic...

...especially if you have a tight deadline for a production and you are

relying on getting rights for a certain piece of music....  from experience,

allow at least 4 weeks when dealing with record companies.. ...another trick

is to write or fax them... make sure everything is down on paper!


good luck...
