In some cases, even if the song owners release their music to the public, individuals may still not have the right to play it freely.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This issue is not limited to just restaurants; cafes and various establishments also face the challenge of providing music to entertain customers without infringing on copyrights.<\/p>\n

The problem arises when the owners or operators of these establishments are not aware of which songs they are allowed to play and which ones they aren’t. Modern music is easily accessible through the internet or various applications, making it tempting for individuals to play songs without understanding the intricacies of copyright laws.<\/p>\n

copyright is <\/b><\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

copyright is Things that are legally designed to be protected but intangible, yet valuable and price, such as music, various branches of literature, various forms of art, design, and more.<\/p>\n

In addition, ‘music is another work that is equally protected by copyright.’<\/span> Copyright is a recognized international commercial matter to give value and importance to the creators of these works. If there is a copyright infringement, the copyright owner can file a claim for damages or compensation for the copyright that has been infringed. Therefore, the use of others’ works must be carefully considered and precautions taken.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/span>\n

<\/div>\n

When is copyright protected<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

Normally, copyright protection begins ‘immediately’ when we create the work, and it continues for another 50 years after our death. There is no need to register with government agencies; we have copyright protection similarly. For example, if we compose and record a song at home, it is protected immediately upon completion. However, if we create something and keep it to ourselves, it might be challenging to provide evidence, so it is recommended to upload or keep a file that clearly indicates the production date.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/span>\n

How to avoid copyright infringement<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

When songs are released on the internet for free or even for a fee, it is for ‘personal’ listening only. It is not permitted to use them for ‘commercial’ purposes. Therefore, if we want to use them to support or help our restaurant business, we need to obtain permission or purchase commercial licenses beforehand. In this case, let’s discuss what to do if we haven’t purchased the copyrights to avoid these issues.<\/p>\n

1. Check the list of songs you want to use to see which companies manage the copyrights.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

* You can check this on the Department of Intellectual Property’s website: https:\/\/music.ipthailand.go.th\/song
\n* If there is no copyright collection mentioned, you can use the songs. (Choose songs where artists or record labels have granted permission for use without copyright fees)
\n* This check will help you determine if the record label of the songs you want to use collects copyright fees.<\/p>\n

2.Play songs from a record label that doesn’t collect copyright fees.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

* It is important to continuously check whether the songs have been copyrighted later on.<\/p>\n

3.Use public domain songs.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

* For example, Christmas songs<\/p>\n

4.Use songs that are not protected by copyright.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These are songs that do not have any copyright owner or any certified rights associated with them. Examples of songs that are not protected by copyright include:
\n\u2022. Folk songs or community songs that are well-known and commonly sung at social events.<\/p>\n

Songs written by copyright owners, but the copyright has expired. This is applicable to very old songs, as copyright protection lasts for a considerable period.<\/p>\n

5.Create your own music = No issues, and it’s a good way to avoid copyright problems.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\t
