Record industry collecting society PPCA has won a landmark case in the Australian Federal Court enabling them to licence radio stations separately for their online streaming services. PPCA has fought a long battle with the commercial radio industry to increase royalty payments from the broadcasters for the use of sound recordings. A "cap" of 1% contained in the Copyright Act has prevented PPCA from achieving their aim. However the new ruling will allow them to extract payment from the broadcasters for their streaming services.
