Here is how public performance of copyright material actually works:
(This is my first posting to Link so hopefully this will actually be posted,
but I hate to see misinformation posted and since I have been both a
songwriter, a publisher, and a director of APRA, it seems I know a bit about
the discussion on public performance of songs).
* Public performance of copyright works is permitted for any work.
* APRA collects the public revenues from public performances of songs.
* The artist performing does not pay to perform a work. The venue pays. It
is part of the license provisions that they have.
* The artist is obliged to fill in a report noting the works performed.
