Copyright Infringement Fines
Definition
Sync licensing requires permissions from separate owners of musical composition and master rights, often not administered by PROs like APRA AMCOS. Non-compliance exposes users to lawsuits for damages under Copyright Act.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 10,000+ per infringement in damages/settlements; research fees AUD 55+ per work
- Frequency: Per unlicensed use in ads, films, events
- Root Cause: Fragmented rights ownership requiring manual negotiation with publishers, labels, and ARIA
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Musicians and licensors in Australia waste AUD 10,000+ per infringement on legal fees and settlements. Automation of licence tracking eliminates this risk.
Affected Stakeholders
Music licensors, Sync agents, Film/TV producers using music
