Asked the question on another thread.. but
Hi all, I asked this on another thread, but it never was answered, maybe no one knows, maybe it was missed in all the Frisky & choker madhouse stuff :(
Im wondering if camsite owners needs a licence for music played on the website or if the owner can be fined & sued for the models playing music without a licence? I know that a public premises & anywhere using the music for part of the act or background needs a licence to play dvd, cd, or radio. If there is no licence they can be fined. How does it work for the camsite owner if they have a model playing music from home or a studio, possibly without a licence. Would the site owner also find themselves in a situation, considering huge companies such as virgin or interscope, have enough money to sue? |
Well, it's the kind of thing that you can do and get away with it for life.
But, if you ever make enough money that's worth taking then you will not get away with it. :1orglaugh |
There was a YouTube case on this a few years back. The record label sued some chick over her baby dancing to some tune on YouTube. The record companies lost. I believe the verdict was something along the lines of........ the music was not the central theme of the video (the baby doing the electric slide was).
So it was thrown out. |

So I buy the cd, download the mp3, whatever, and I can't play it in the background if I'm on the phone, webcam, whatever? Fuck that shit :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I always wondered that when i see these trailers using well known songs also. Wasnt there a case awhile back with inthevip getting sued for the songs spinning while they was filming.

here is the UK Performing Rights Society page, it can be big bucks for shops & public areas to play music without licences.... |
Good question.
|
There's a number of different licences and organisations in the UK that covers this. You need to make sure you get the right one.
With all the 'fans' you have, you need to get it right, in case someone grasses you in to the Dorset police. I am covered for stuff I do through http://www.theiac.org.uk/, but I don't think they cover any commercial use. |
Best thing to do is work out a license deal.
|
Yes you can be sued, by a company with a lot of money to spend on lawyers. Win or lose, you lose.

Link us to the white label cam site!
I bet it's AWESOME and not at all just made up in your head. Gary, love, don't sweat it. In order to get done you have to have an audience you are broadcasting to. So no worries there. https://img.skitch.com/20110515-kxti...kapw2xkjhe.jpg Why do you waste everyone's time here lying about your cam studio and white label cam service? Sigh. PS DA was mocking you, and you're so FUCKING stupid you didn't even realise. /me shakes his head |
