Music royalties Australia

1. Music royalties Australia Both Kinds of Music The heading is not an attempt to pay homage to the “Blues Brothers”. It is not a reference to the “Country and Western” music played at Bob’s Country Bunker. Both kinds of music in this instance refers to those tunes where royalties are paid per performance and Royalty Free Music. It is the responsibility of all businesses where music is played or performed to have a current license as issued by APRA and PPCM. As You Play So Must You Pay The authors, recording artists, musicians, and publishers all have a vested interest in their published music being performed or played anywhere business is conducted. APRA/AMCOS and PPCM are the official agencies assigned the duty of collecting and distributing the royalties due by those who play or perform published music at a place of business. Let’s face it. There would be total chaos if each copyright owner had to go round and individually collect royalties due. Avoiding the Impost of Annual Licence Fees Media Group, the business audio specialist, has an extensive library of the other kind of music - Royalty Free Music. This is recorded music that is exempt from any liability to pay annual fees. The library includes tracks from all genres including pop, rock, jazz, blues, country and more. If you want to take advantage of the mood-altering power of music to improve the instore ambience and increase sales.
