Thread Name: Obit - Samuel Smiths and LIVE music
Subject: RE: Obit - Samuel Smiths and LIVE music
Or is the the PPL/MCPS?
It would help if we clarified which licences are involved
As far as I recall
PPL covers playing prerecorded copyright music (& video?) on the premises
PRS covers performance of copyright material by live acts
Also
The new PEL covers 'entertainment' but not playback of prerecorded music, nor TV.
MCPS covers copyright on prerecorded music - paid when CD is recorded
If the music is not under copyright (Often difficult to prove), then only the PEL is relevant.
