L00b Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Are you saying that the person holding the score/lyric copyright should recieve payment from the group?Yes. Does this ever happen..if so how?See the (edited) above? Dealings in copyright are pretty much off the CDPA'88 remit. All the CDPA'88 does, is define the rights, who owns them, what happens when they are infringed, exceptions to infringement liability - give or take. Nothing as regards how much they are worth, what should be paid and when, etc: all that stuff is left to the parties' negotiating discretion. Collecting societies were created to 'simplify' exactly what your questions relate to, however their use is not mandatory for copyright owners, so, in essence, the answer to your questions is simply "it depends" (i.e. the exact answer will turn on the specific facts every time).

Hi Truman. After each gig we play I enter a set list at the PRS site. The writer(s) of each song / tune, including ourselves where appropriate, gain a proportion of about 6 quid for each pub gig we play. The pot is higher for festivals and larger venues but I've never managed to fathom how much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as well as the gig fee you also get paid for playing your own music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that they have representatives who turns up at gigs from time to time. A member of Treebeard told me they turned up at one of theirs once and were very helpful & supportive of "small" bands. So as well as the gig fee you also get paid for playing your own music? Aye. We average about 30 quid a quarter with the occasional bonus when we've played at a festival or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riche Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 My Bro is an Industrial designer and teacher. At Uni in the late 80's he designed a safety plug for the infirm.

markke Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think both intellectual and copyright belong to the 'child' as children often bring home art they have created in school.Although this is little difficult to answer correctly. Nice to read about copyrights.Really interesting information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
