Our direct licensing guidelines
1.1
These are the direct licensing guidelines of Ordio Productions. This information
contains information about licensing our sound recordings. It sets out the
procedure to be followed when you are making an enquiry about direct licensing
for public performance or transmission.
1.2
An alternative to licensing the sound recording or music video directly from us is
to obtain a blanket licence from the Phonographic Performance Company of
Australia (PPCA). If you obtain the PPCA blanket licence then you will not
require a licence from us because the blanket licence gives you permission,
within the terms of the licence, to play any recording from the PPCA catalogue
which covers over 5,000 recording labels including our sound recordings. Go to:
www.ppca.com.au or call PPCA on (02) 8569 1111 to find out more.
2.
Types of licences offered for sound recordings and music videos.
2.1
We only provide non-exclusive licences. This means we can offer the same
licences to other people. For example, if we licence your restaurant to play our
sound recordings, we can also licence any other businesses (including other
restaurants) that wish to play our sound recordings.
2.2
We offer licences for the following purposes.
A) transmission licences for our sound recordings and music videos. You will
need a transmission licence if you intend to communicate the sound recording
or music video to the public, for example by way of radio, television or the
internet.
B) Public performance licences for our sound recordings. You will need a public
performance licence if you intend to play the sound recording in public, for
example by playing a CD at your business premises.
2.3
These licences are separate from any licence required in respect of the
underlying copyright in the music and lyrics on the sound recording. Unless the
underlying musical works are no longer protected by copyright, you will also
need to obtain permission to use the underlying musical works (including any
lyrics). Permission to use musical works can be sought from the Australasian
Performing Rights Association (APRA) and the Australasian Mechanical
Copyright Owners Society (AMCOS).
These two organisations operate from the same office and have responsibility
for different types of licensing. See: www.apra.com.au or call: 1300 852 388.
