  • EVENTS OUR CONSULTATION PROCESS with YOU Onemusic Australia Is Consulting with You and Would Like to Hear What You Think
    EVENTS OUR CONSULTATION PROCESS WITH YOU OneMusic Australia is consulting with you and would like to hear what you think. This paper sets out the proposed rates to apply to events and performances where music is used. It covers APRA’s existing rates for National and other Event Promoters and PPCA’s Tariffs B, E2, E4 and X and simplifies those separate licences and schemes by providing a combined approach. It is relevant for concert promoters, event and festival promoters and producers, performance spaces and those running ad hoc events from time to time that are not covered under other OneMusic licence schemes. Some OneMusic licences, such as Places of Interest, Councils, Hotels also cover events, subject to certain thresholds, and for events outside those limits, the rates here apply. You can access information about those licences here. We realise it can be confusing to have to pay music licence fees to two organisations. Starting from mid-2019, OneMusic Australia will be the one organisation for all your music licensing needs, and you’ll be able to pay for your licence online. It’s not easy to build a single licence scheme that suits everyone, so we’ve come up with a proposal which builds on previous discussions with industry and where possible applies the same metrics to the one event. We’d like you to take a look and provide us with your feedback. Live Performance Australia have prepared a summary for their members (June 2019) and you can read this here. This paper covers the proposal for licensing for the following types of events: ■■ Promoted music events and festivals (including free events); ■■ General entertainment events where music is used but not the primary focus (including free events).

  • Panel Transcription Date
    The State of Industry Report - Panel Transcription Date: 03/08/17 Moderator: Lars Brandle, Music Journalist, Billboard Magazine Speakers: Brett Cottle, CEO, APRA AMCOS; Dan Rosen, Chief Executive Officer; ARIA; Kim Tran, Director, Policy & Programs, Live Performance Australia LB: I would like to ask Brett, CEO of APRA AMCOS to open this and share with us some numbers. BC: Thanks Lars, I think in keeping with the timing we have I will be fairly brief in my comments. The perspective I am going to give you is of course that of the collecting society APRA AMCOS, which looks after the interests of songwriters and publishers, only a part of the ecosystem, but an important part. It is difficult to draw any conclusion other than that the industry is back in boom times, from the kinds of figures that I will refer to today. There are roughly three points I would like to make. The first is that digital revenue for songwriters and publishers is almost now at the level of revenue from the broadcast sector. In the year to 30 June 2017, we will be reporting across APRA and AMCOS digital revenue of $110 million. Included in digital are subscription and ad driven streaming services, digital downloads, video on demand and user generated content. The combined figure across those businesses this year will be $110 million. The figure from broadcasting this year, including all radio and television, across Australia and NZ will be $125 million. By way of indicating how we have travelled, two years ago digital revenue was $48 million and broadcast revenue was $122 million.
