Re: Rights to play Copyrighted Music? Hello Ben, Yes, someone should have paid a licensing fee if the music is registered by one of the collection Corporations. While the Artist, or Writer/ Composer of the music usually, legally goes after the "guy with the deepest pockets"..... it can also trickle down to the Sound Provider of the Event. These details as to whom will be licensed/pay the fees should be covered in the SP's contract with the Client. Some years back, a piece of Music was used at one of the Auto Shows without licensing, the Sound Company was found negligent for $300,000. Needless to say...they lost their business. Hammer
