Comp Piper writes "Bernard Hill" wrote in I'm with you John. What kind of an idiot would post such crap over a funeral? One who earns his sole livelihood by creating copyrighted products, and who happens to be a member (and, indeed, treasurer) of a church which takes the law and copyright responsibilities seriously. What do you do for fun? Make music. But I don't see the relevance of the question. It's a very simple thing to organise. One phone call is all it takes. Why bother? sheesh! roll eyes Because it's the right thing to do. That way you are remaining within the law and contributing to the payment of royalties to the owners of copyright. Why do you have so much of a problem with this concept? Especially on a music newsgroup!

We are literally talking pennies per playing here. And in fact the cost of the licence is borne by the church so the bereaved are not even aware of any cost. But is it robbery when I am paid for my services in playing the organ at a funeral in my church? Is the undertaker's fee "robbery"?

Then again they are talented artists and not money grubbing oiks. The copyright in recorded work doesn't usually belong to the artist concerned, but to the recording company. It depends on the contract of course. So they have no power to waive the fee. And we are literally talking pennies.
