Can we transmit our community radio or TV programs over the internet?
15.6.2008
In general, you need to get separate permissions to upload material to the internet, even if you already have permission to broadcast it. You can get licences from at least some of the collecting societies for use of music (for example, from APRA and AMCOS).
In general, before you make programs available on the internet, check what copyright material is included in each program and ensure that you have the permission of the copyright owners for this use.
In addition, you should be aware that if people visiting the site can download the material (making further copies), you could be “authorising” them to make these uses of the material. If these other uses are not authorised by the copyright owner, ensure that the material is available only as a stream, not a download.
