MUSIC IN YOUR FUNCTION – ARE YOU DOING THE RIGHT THING?

your function – whether it be a birthday party, a wedding reception or corporate event

I bought a legitimate CD. Can I copy tracks from the purchased CD onto an iPod or a blank CD for use in my function or at my function centre?

The purchase of a CD only gives you the right to own the physical disc, to play it privately, and to pass on the same physical disc to another person. This means that copying the music from a CD including onto an iPod, without the permission of all relevant copyright owners, is an infringement of copyright except in very limited circumstances. The Copyright Act allows you to “format shift” music for personal use, for example, to copy from CD format to MP3 format in certain limited situations. However, this does not extend to use of the music on commercial premises.

I operate a function centre. Can I be held responsible for any pirate music played on the premises?

Yes, as the venue operator you may be held liable for authorising copyright infringement if pirated music is played on your premises. This might include iPods that are loaded with illegally downloaded music or DJs who are using digital music devices, such as computers, without the relevant reproduction licences in place. As the venue operator, it is also your responsibility to obtain public performance licences from APRA and PPCA (or the relevant copyright owner).

Can I be fined or jailed for music piracy?

Music pirates can be fined up to $60,500 and up to 5 years imprisonment for each offence. For companies the fines are up to 5 times as much. Under recent changes to the Copyright Act the police can also issue an on-the-spot fine of $1320 and seize pirate music and Equipment.

Codes of Conduct for the karaoke And jukebox industries 

MIPI - Codes of Conduct

Support the Artists and song writers that make the music you like.

Respect copyright in music

Stealing music is the same as stealing anything else. It is illegal and the consequences are real, for artists, songwriters, and for the future of music. Unauthorized copying or downloading whether from CDs or the internet has a major effect on the music industry. And it’s not free at all - it is the musicians, artists, sound technicians and all the other people involved in the music industry who are paying the price with less music being sold. People’s livelihoods are affected. Further, as a result of piracy there is less money to be invested in new talent, which ultimately means less music available for you.

Point-to-point speed cameras (or average speed cameras) are a speed camera system that uses at least two cameras over a length of road to measure a vehicle's average speed. The system uses the time it takes for a vehicle to travel between two points to calculate the average speed of the vehicle: Speed = Distance/Time.

combined red light/speed cameras to be introduced to Queensland in mid-2010
Combined red light/speed cameras are placed at a signalised intersection and are able to detect both failure to obey the red traffic signal and illegal speeding. The speed detection component of the camera can operate on the red, yellow and green signal.

How many digital cameras are being tested? Where will they be tested?
Seven cameras will be tested in locations across South East Queensland. These will be:
two combined red light/speed cameras
Waterworks Road and Jubilee Terrace, Ashgrove
Beaudesert Road and Compton Road, Calamvale

Road user code of behaviour  Motorists

Motor vehicles are the fastest, largest and heaviest users of the road. In a crash, motor vehicles will cause the most damage and pose the greatest threat of injury or fatality.

Motorists should:

  • Be fair and remember to treat other road users such as cyclists and pedestrians with respect and courtesy.

  • Obey traffic lights and stop at pedestrian crossings when pedestrians are using them.

  • Give way to pedestrians when turning into a street.

  • Always indicate well in advance.

  • Give way to cyclists and be patient. Only pass a bicycle when it is safe and give them plenty of room.

  • Look out for cyclists when parking on the street and opening car doors.

  • Never park on the footpath. It is illegal and puts pedestrians at risk by forcing them to walk on the road. Fine $40.00

  • Take extra care at night and in the wet. Watch out for cyclists and pedestrians at night, in low light and when it is raining. They are difficult to see in these conditions and may believe you have seen them before you actually do

  • Always drive with caution, especially around schools and other places where children may be walking or cycling. Children are often unpredictable and can lack road sense so slow down around schools. Look out for children emerging from between parked cars and remember that they are shorter and more difficult to see.
