DjDennis Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I think you guys may want to get very nervous now....PPCA's National Enforcement ProgramPPCA operates a nation-wide inspection and enforcement program which is utilised in circumstances where business owners, despite PPCA’s repeated efforts, refuse to take out the necessary licences for the public performance of protected sound recordings on their premises.To protect artists, labels and our compliant licensees, PPCA has added resources to the National Enforcement Program including teams of inspectors visiting venues and premises all around Australia.In all cases where PPCA inspections have confirmed the unauthorised public performance of sound recordings and which have been pursued by PPCA’s Department of Business and Legal Affairs, a successful licensing arrangement has been implemented either through legal proceedings or negotiation (see case studies below). PPCA always prefers that a business takes out the appropriate licence without the need to resort to legal action. We have licensing staff to assist businesses in what can be a complex area of legal compliance, particularly for those who encounter copyright issues for the first time. Unfortunately some business owners, despite PPCA’s efforts, do on occasion refuse to take out the necessary licences and in these circumstances they leave PPCA little alternative than to carry out site inspections and commence legal proceedings.It’s important for business owners to know their legal obligations with regard to playing copyright protected sound recordings and music videos in a commercial environment, and to seek legal advice if they are uncertain.If you are using sound recordings in your business, and do not have a licence from either PPCA or the relevant record companies, we urge you to contact our licensing department on 02 8569 1111.link:http://www.ppca.com.au/PPCAs-National-E ... ogram.htmlCurrent Matters PPCA has two matters currently taking place in the Federal Magistrates Court. The first matter relates to a nightclub in Queensland that has failed to obtain a licence to play protected sound recordings. The first hearing took place in late April and the respondents failed to appear at that hearing. PPCA is presently preparing an application for summary judgment. The second matter is in respect of a hotel venue, also in Queensland. The first hearing for this matter is scheduled for mid May.Case study #3:PPCA sued a popular Adelaide nightclub for infringement of copyright after an inspection of the nightclub revealed the unlicensed performance of copyright protected music on its premises. The Federal Magistrates Court awarded PPCA damages (licence fees including back fees for prior periods), interest on unpaid fees and legal costs in the sum of $58,080.96. In addition, recognising the nightclub’s deliberate and blatant disregard for copyright law, the Federal Magistrates Court awarded PPCA additional damages in the amount of $85,000.00.so have a nice day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismak Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Weird post. He offers information that has little relevance to the people of this forum and disappears with "so have a nice day" . I'm not sure what he was attempting to get across :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
