Yes, there are several ways to avoid copyright infringement when playing live recordings on your radio station. The most obvious is to ensure that you have proper authorization from the artist or label granting rights to broadcast their songs. Additionally, it is important to thoroughly research the artist and ensure you know where the rights reside, in order to avoid unknowingly committing an infringement. It is also key that you have a policy of seeking permission from copyright owners before broadcasting any material and adhere to it at all times. Furthermore, it's critical you obtain information about performances where artists are not signed with a major label or management company and obtain clearance from those entities before broadcasting any tracks from those artists. By properly assessing these items, you can make sure that all activities comply with international copyright law while still providing unique and engaging content for your listeners.

Sure! There are steps you can take to ensure you're not infringing on copyrighted music when playing live recordings on your radio station. One important step is making sure that you have permission from copyright owners to use their content. You can often do this through a performance license, which allows you to play broadcast-quality copies of recordings for public performance within a certain territory and time frame. It is also essential to properly source any music that you play, clearly displaying the source each time a track is played, for example 'by artistname from album name'. In addition, make sure the live recording conforms to any relevant copyright exceptions such as Fair dealing or Section 78(1)(b). Finally, be prepared to stop playing any material if requested by rights holders.
