Push for radio stations to cough up

Push for radio stations to cough up

Pressure is ready to ramp up on the nation’s radio networks when ACT unbiased senator David Pocock’ introduces a invoice on Wednesday to take away caps that restrict how a lot stations should pay artists to broadcast their recordings.

Under copyright legislation, Australian-owned radio stations – each public and industrial – are required to pay not more than 1 per cent of their gross annual income to broadcast sound recording.

The guidelines, established 55 years in the past, bar the recording business from brokering their very own broadcast offers, who’re as an alternative beholden to the legislated caps, and the restricted income stream they supply.

In the 12 months to June 2022, Australia’s 260 million industrial stations paid $4.4 million in royalties to composers, musicians and rights holders, equating to 0.4 per cent of gross earnings.

The ABC paid even much less, with whole royalties charges throughout its community of native and nationwide stations equating to nearly $130,000 within the 2022-23 monetary 12 months.

Through amendments to the Copyright Act, senator Pocock will search to abolish the cap, and alternatively require radio stations and artists to barter “fair remuneration” over broadcast offers.

“The mere presence of the cap is distorting the market to the disadvantage of artists, who we must remember are small businesses, often operating on a shoestring to brand, and market and distribute their product,” Senator Pocock stated.

“Removing these caps also won’t automatically change any royalties. But passing this Bill will allow the market to decide a fair rate and always with the safeguard of the Copyright Tribunal.

“I urge the major parties to consider supporting this small, sensible, practical change that will make a difference to artists and ensure we continue to have a strong and vibrant Australian music industry in the future.”

The push follows the latest launch of authorized proceedings by the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA) – which represents artists and report labels – within the Copyright Tribunal to extend royalties of its members.

The PPCA has additionally lobbied Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus to abolish the caps on funds for each public and industrial radio, labelling them “unfair and uncompetitive”.

In the long term, the PPCA desires to align royalty charges with international locations like Canada, France, Japan and the United Kingdom, the place royalties vary from 1.5 to five per cent of stations’ income.

Responding to the PPCA’s push in June, chief govt of Commercial Radio Australia Ford Ennals, opposed the change, arguing that the business already paid nearly $40 million in separate royalty charges to songwriters, composers and publishers by charges to the Australian Performing Rights Association.
