[cma-l] Copyright Licensing Agency

[Ian Hickling]

The Companies running Community Radio stations are operating very much in a commercial sense in that they have income and expenditure - even thouigh they are not permitted to return a nett profit.
A Charity may be considered differently, although I agree overall that in practical terms a CR organisation should be allowed to use copyright material freely as long as it does so in a responsible fashion.

I would take note of their phrase:
 
"any commercial organisation now wishing to copy or reuse copyright articles and information from published magazines..."
 
If you are consituted as most community broadcasters are, as a company not-for-profit or charity, then I would regard that as not a commercial organisation as such, and therefore still potentially entitled to use the fair dealing provisions of the act.
