APRA SITE
In the online world there’s been a misconception that music downloaded over the Internet is somehow ‘free’. The problem however is that ‘free’ music means songwriters and artists don’t get paid.
New technologies such as the internet and mobile phone applications are opening up new distribution avenues for songwriters. These new avenues include: digital downloads as full length songs; mobile phone ringtones; webcasting (i.e. online radio stations); and on-demand streaming (i.e. services which permit users to access and experience music over the net at a time and place convenient to the user).
There is little doubt the creative work of composers and songwriters adds value to online businesses and services. There are a number of different ways in which this can be achieved. For example, the playing of music as a background music loop has the potential to enhance the appeal of a site, and in turn attract more traffic and keep users browsing for longer periods.
Any use of copyright music requires the appropriate clearances to be obtained. Copyright owners in music have a number of rights in their work, including the right to reproduce their music and the right to communicate their work to the public. The term communication covers broadcasting and making music available online. APRA, by licensing the use of music online is able to ensure that composers, songwriters and music publishers are properly reimbursed for the exercise of their rights.
