Ipinaalala ng Filipino Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (FILSCAP) na ang mga elections campaigns na pinatutugtog sa publiko na mga copyrighted songs, ito man ay live o recorded, sa panahon ng campaign rallies o sorties ay nangangailangan ng license mula sa copyright owner.
Sa isang statement, binanggit ng FILSCAP ang tungkol sa Section 177.6 ng Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines.
“This would include the playing of background music before or during the event, and the playing of entertainment music (e.g., during a song or dance performance) as they are considered ‘public performance’ under Sec. 171.6 of the IP Code. This rule equally applies to local and foreign copyrighted songs,” batay sa statement ng grupo.
Ayon pa sa FILSCAP, ang tinatawag na public performance license ay iba sa modification o adaptation license, na kailangang i-secured kung ang mga lyrics ng isang copyrighted song ay binago.
“It is also different from the ‘reproduction license’ (also called mechanical/synchronization license) that needs to be secured if a copyrighted song is recorded (e.g., incorporation of a song in a campaign video) pursuant to Sec. 177.1 of the IP Code,” dagdag pa ng FILSCAP.
Sa kasalukuyan, ang FILSCAP ang tanging organisasyon na accredited ng Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines sa lisensiya, bukod sa iba pa, hinggil sa public performance sa bansa ng mga copyrighted local at foreign songs.
