Can we make copies of recorded music from vinyl, cassettes or CDs?
Yes. This can be done under the AMCOS/APRA/ARIA Licence provided that the copy is: • for a school event; • of a school event; or • for educational instruction. The recording must be marked with the following notice: “This recording has been made under a licence from AMCOS and ARIA for educational purposes only” The following information must be provided (for example, on a sticker on the recording): • The title of the musical work; • the name of the composer and arranger; and if the recording is of a commercial sound recording, the artist/group name and the record company label. TAFE institutes: There is no national TAFE licence with AMCOS/APRA/ARIA. TAFE staff should check with their individual institute to see whether they have a licence agreement with AMCOS/APRA/ARIA for this purpose. You should always check whether the CD-Rom is protected by an Access Control Technological Protection Measure.See information sheet “Copy Protection Measures and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006” or con
