Music     

Massey University has entered into a licence agreement with APRA/AMCOS NZ and PPNZ. The licence allows Massey to perform, play and copy musical works for educational purposes within certain limits. It also covers most instances where Massey will have obtained a one off licence for music and performance in the past.

APRA/AMCOS (http://apra-amcos.co.nz) represents music writers and publishers. PPNZ (http://www.ppnz.co.nz) represents international and local record labels and recording artists. These two organisations distribute licence fees, paid by Massey University, to rights’ holders.

• make archival recordings involving music
