for Life Campaign
Newsletters This short article on copyright appears in the November, 2005 Newsletter Schools: do it right with copyright Campaign HQ contacted Scott Morris, our APRA
contact on the Music Council of Australia, after receiving a number of
requests from schools wanting to make and sell CDs of students’
performances, seeking clarification on the copyright issue. Here’s his
advice… “Basically there is a
schools licence by AMCOS and ARIA which allows schools to make recordings and
distribute them in certain circumstances. This agreement allows
licensed schools to make recordings of AMCOS musical works and ARIA sound
recordings to be distributed to students for educational purposes. Cost
recovery of the blank tape or CD is allowed.” (Further details of the licence are at www.apra.com.au, click on ‘music users’ then
‘education and print’ and follow the link to schools). “The licence
allows the making of audio and video recordings either of live performances
on school premises,
or copying existing sound recordings of music, for educational purposes. The licence has recently been
extended to also allow the synchronisation of music and sound recordings to
film, such as the making of student films. These films may only be shown on
school premises to members of the school community. Films made for film
festivals or to be screened elsewhere require separate licensing or
permissions. The AMCOS/ARIA licence now permits
parents of students from licensed schools to make video recordings of their
children’s performances, for example, at a school concert – for
domestic viewing only. AUSDANCE
