The third sector will see copyright exemptions for public playing of sound recordings and music removed from April 2010 as the government announces the repeal of sections 67 and 72(1B)(a) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and related exemptions. This will mean that voluntary groups and charities will need a public performance rights licence to play sound recordings and broadcast music in any public space and to pay the previously exempt right-holder’s fee. It is estimated this will cost the voluntary and community sector upwards of £20 million and result in many changes to use of music in the sector.
