boswell Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Nothing, but you still would not be licensed to perform it in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 we would never break the law in copyright. I was saying surely tho if its available on one site what is to stop us getting it on Samuel french USA rather than SAmuel french UK?Because, quite simply, Samuel French US CANNOT licence any performances in the UK.That's why there's a Samuel french UK..... And if you've used US scripts before and not paid for a UK licence then you most certainly HAVE broken the law in the past..... Not rocket science...

dbuckley Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 When you fill in the online fom to licence a show on the USA site, it askes you the address of where the production will be performed. If you specify a country where there is local representation, then you'll be politely declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 It's exactly the same territory problem that stops you watching streaming video on the net if you are not in the right country. Rights are tricky things. I'm at the moment trying to do a project that uses a new arrangement of material under the control of The Really Useful Group, Cameron Mackintosh and Disney. PRS and PPL cannot help, and MCPS can license the tranfers from medium to medium, but not the content. So I'm trying to deal with all three and it's very difficult. Schools (not so much colleges) simply believe they can do whatever they want, and ignore copyright on the assumption that education is exempt from such mundane matters. Copyright is getting much more public - especially since PPL are now hitting PRS clients with invoices twice the price of the PRS ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
