Is there any legal requirement for me to pay PPCA licence fees?
It is illegal to play protected sound recordings for commercial purposes without a licence. The Copyright Act imposes an obligation on those who wish to broadcast, communicate or publicly perform protected sound recordings and music videos to obtain the licence of the copyright holders. PPCA is authorised by participating record labels to grant these licences and to collect licence fees. If you don’t obtain a licence from PPCA, you will need to obtain a licence from each relevant individual copyright owner. For further information, see The Legal Position.
