Does our community station need permission to broadcast hired or purchased videos to members of our language group?
15.6.2008

Permission will be needed from the copyright owners before you can broadcast videos – there are no special provisions allowing community broadcasters to do this without permission. The first point of contact for getting permission will be the film’s producer (the production company will usually be identified on the video cover) or their Australian agent.
