statistical information from members and retailers.
It compiles numerous ARIA charts with data provided by
over 700 retailers
- ARIA is a focus for industry opinion
and a compiler of industry information and views
- ARIA provides
in certain cases, a "blanket" licensing
function on behalf of it's members for various copyright
users
About the ARIA licence
ARIA issues licences for the reproduction (dubbing) of certain
sound recordings.
Do you need a ARIA licence?
You will need an ARIA licence if you are 'dubbing' music
onto CDs for any reason. These reasons might include performing
or for ease of use in lessons.
An example of such use is the recording of songs on a student's
'practice' cassette tape for the purpose of home practice.
Another example may be the reproduction of tracks to create
a compilation CD for concert or performance use.
