FRIENDLY GESTURE
Music Composers and Radio
QUESTION OF RIGHTS
Advice has reached broadcasting circles in Australia of a friendly gesture on the part of the International Broadcasting Union towards composers and authors whose works from the main portion of their programmes. The 1.8. Union is a combination ol the broadcasting authorities of all European countries, aud. at a convention held in London six weeks ago it was agreed that the union would “cooperate in loyal and inendly fashion with authors and literary and artistic works.” At the conclusion of the convention the British Broadcasting Corporation declared in an official statement that the union was respectful of the interests of authors to whose work broadcasters had recourse in their cultural activities. Mr. S. W. Edwards, secretary of the Australasian Performing Right Association, says this shows that the creators of music have now definitely established the principle that their music is property, and that it. can he performed publicly only with their permission.
