debstephens Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I recently attended a music workshop where we were told that we were breaking the law if we played tapes, cds etc without a licence. Has anybody already got a licence, if you have, who from and how much on average does it cost. debbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyjenkinz Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 PAH!!! I imagine this is true...however it's somewhat unrealistic and imposible to implement. I think it fine as long as you play music for the kids to listen to, not a public performance. I have been known to copy CD's (keeping the original safe) as the children are not that careful with them. i'm not distributing them so that is ok. (i think!)

You can copy a CD as many times as you want as long as you have the original copy ! and as long as you don't sell them or whatever !

HappyMaz Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Just did a quick search - basically you have to have a license for any music played outside the home - click here to check! The performing rights society's website points you to another site for educational establishments - CEFM say they are the collection agents within the school sector for the Performing Rights Society and this link shows the kind of things you need a license for! Another thing to do then.... Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 We were told that as long as DVDs/CDs were being shown/listened to for 'educational purposes' we wouldn't require a license!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
