I also deal a lot with music copyright, professionally. In this case it’s not about commercial reproduction of the recording, it’s about unauthorized public performance of the underlying work (composition).
- dotBen 5y agoIf that was really enforceable then anyone playing music out of their phone speaker in public, eg on the bus, would be infringing. It's not a thing. (why people insist on playing music in public out of their phone speaker in an annoying way is another topic!)
- DrJokepu 5y agoThat is, in fact, infringement, however trivial. It’s obviously not something worth pursuing in court.
