PERFORMING RIGHTS COST COMMISSION TO INQUIRE CANBERRA, Sept. 1 The Federal Attorney-General, Mr. J. G. Latham, announced in the House of Representatives to-day that the Government has decided to appoint Mr. Justice Owen, who recently retired from the New South Wales Supreme Court Bench, to be a Royal Commissioner to inquire into and make recommendations upon the question of performing rights in copyright works broadcast in Australia. This appointment comes as a result of protests against the fees demanded by the Australian Performing Rights Association, which claims the copyright to numerous works used by the radio systems. A and B stations paid £45,000 last year to the association for these rights. x .
