The Produb License Is Available Right Now!

[Gary 0]

I just bought my ProDub license from the MCPS-PRS Alliance website.

 

But, instead of the expected £400 (for 20,000 rips/dubs) it only cost me £300.

 

How? There's an introductory discount of 25% for pro-dubbers who buy themselves their pro dub licenses in the next few weeks.

 

Be quick to take advantage of the disount - no promotion code or anything like that required, the 25% I'd automatically deducted.

Nothing short of extortion, in my opinion.

 

Changing the format of a track does not cause the artist to lose out on royalties, so why the need to create a legal rip-off in this manner?

 

I can only assume those involved in the consultation were either ignored, or failed to make this most important point.

 

And yes, I am a little angry about this new 'licence', but there's nothing I alone can do about it, other than avoid a situation where I would need one. :angry:

 

Yet another nail in the mobile disco coffin, I feel.

What about making a copy?

Not for you, surely, if you don't need a licence?

In the case of DJ's when we make a copy it tends to be for convenience of playback, we don't play both copies at the same time.

The people that want to make several copies and sell them or use them in multiple places at the same time won't be bothered with the license in the first place.

Did they ask for a list of tracks? or do you just state how many tracks you have by number?

So how did they check your info ????

 

are they going to ask for proof or are they just going to cash in on an extra fee paid for somethin already paid for??

Unfortunately ( and I agree ) that's not the point.

I agree with that too.

Whilst under current copyright law ( apparently ) there's no way round this, it will be interesting to see how this is policed. Bearing in mind that venue management will have a list of licence holders and will be encouraged to prevent those ( who need it ) without a licence from playing their copied music, what will happen when the venue haven't booked the DJ?

 

I can't remember the last time I was booked by a venue, it's always by clients. One or two ( out of hundreds ) have been asked by venues to check my PAT and PLI.

 

So what price this?

Now that it is live, how do landlords check to see if you have a license?

One of my brothers is a landlord and he hasn't heard anything about it.

Proof of tracks copied is not required.

The registration was quick and easy - it asked how many tracks I wanted to legally rip, whether I used karaoke tracks and what my main genre of music (I chose pop/chart)

 

Other than that it was the usual name, address, other contact details and payment details.
