color:#1F497D">The general thrust is copyright owners have the right under law to be paid when their work is used. When you buy a CD you are granted permission (a licence)
to play that music in certain situations. That does not include a public performance, where an additional licence must be granted. PRS and PPL are member organisations (As is EOS in Wales) who collect royalties for performances by their members. This makes
it easier for us and for them. The fees are set by the bodies and overseen by Government. Obviously, the members want to biggest payment possible to offset losses through piracy etc. You potentially don’t have to pay THEM the fees, but you would then permission
for each element of the copyrights for everything that you did play. For example, the current number one “Closer” has 7 listed writers with which you would need to reach agreement. You’d also need consent from the publishers, the record label (possibly the
owner and the subsidiaries) as well as the artists. Plus clearances for any samples used. Whilst we’d all wish the fees were lower, a blanket licence is by the far the easiest solution. If you object, you could of course run an all speech station, one where
artists waive their rights (Amazing Radio did this for a bit) or music from artists who are not members.

<p>The answer to the simple question is the same as it has been every time you've asked Ian. It's the: Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 Sections 116-123.<o:p></o:p></p>
