Event Information

You do not always need a copyright license or permission for using  recorded music, lyrics or musical compositions. While some uses require you to pay and get a license, many uses do not require the permission of the copyright owner. Most social events, student activities, ceremonies, private uses, etc., do not require copyright licenses from record labels or organisations like Novex, IPRS, PPL and so on.

Experienced entertainment attorneys from BananaIP, a top IP firm, will provide answers to the following questions in a two hour session:

When do you need to take copyright permission to use or perform music?

What uses are considered as fair dealing or fair use for which you do not need any permission?

How much is reasonable payment for using music?

Who should you approach to use copyrighted music?

How should you handle legal notices from organisations like IPRS, Novex, etc.?

Who owns what elements of music, and who all should you pay?

What is the difference between  performing recorded music and  performing music live?

Should singers, musicians, bands,  dancers and others acquire permission to use music?

What is a music license, and  what are its basic elements?

Do you need permission to  share, stream and distribute music online?

What is free and creative commons music?
