Hi Michel,

Although I am not a lawyer I think you got the permission from the artists to play their music, because them using the CC-license.
Sabam has a problem with CC because they say they cannot collect in different ways for different songs.
The artists have a contract with Sabam, giving Sabam exclusive rights to collect.
So I think the artists have a problem with Sabam if they are members.
This is only my opinion, but shure there is a lot going on about this issue nowadays, because the big conflict between the way Sabam works and the new media ... To be continued ...

Hello CC Belgium,
I have a question regarding CC-music and Sabam. In the first half of
2006 I organised with my non-profit organisation (MUP) 6 parties (free
entrance). On these parties I only played music that I downloaded from
archive.org, all songs coming with a CC-license. Sabam did a short
inspection on 2 parties. A half year later they sent a bill for the
six parties.
Question: does playing songs fall under the CC-license, is it a form
of distribution, or is it an apart form that falls under Sabam
restrictions? If an artist is a member of Sabam, but publishes a song
under the CC-license, can I play this song without paying Sabam? If
not, what's the use of this license, that tells that you can
distribute this song for free (in the presumption that playing is
distributing)?
In other words: do I have to pay Sabam?

Thank you for your cooperation,
Michel Berghs,
chairman vzw. MUP
