Musical-copyright enforces target medical clinics; group cracks down on TV, radio infringements, telling doctors it's time to face the music
Article Abstract:
The Composers and Authors Society of Hong Kong (CASH) has focused on medical clinics in their drive to eradicate copyright infringements in Hong Kong. Hong Kong law permits copyright royalties to be collected when the tunes are played outside of the homes. Hence, CASH has cracked down on clinics, which have video and audio equipment, claiming that it helps the doctors' profession. Many physicians have removed their TV and stereo sets instead of paying the fees.
