[78-L] What is the procedure for getting permission from Sony to play records on a German radio station?

[Benno Häupl]

.
On German public radio there is not need to get a permission. 
The person who submits the recordings to the radio station simply 
makes a list of all pertinant information for the recordings used in 
this particular radio show: 

- Title 
- Artist credit 
- Composer credit 
- Publisher (if known) 
- Record label and number 

I doubt that Sony or any publisher or composer will get royalties, 
because the licensing department of the radio station will pay 
whatever is due to GEMA ( like BMI or ASCAP), but they will not 
make any research just to get some pennies to the right person. 

This money ends up in a large pot from which the huge money-makers 
will get their share (Madonna, Michael Jackson and all others) 

So, provide the info to the radio station and let it take its automated 
way.
