This has been covered on several of the list I belong to over the years. For the most part the entertainer is not responible for the fees. If you are in a private home there are no fees. If you are in a public venue such as a festival, bar etc. They are the ones who are suppouse to have the permit covered if not venue are the ones who they will go after not you.

Subject: PUPT: music rights?

What's the protocol for using copyrighted music in puppet shows? I'm referring to
popular tunes, rock 'n' roll, show tunes, nursery rhyme-type music, etc. Someone told
me if you use it in a performance that charges no admission (libraries, festivals) you
don't have to pay for the right to use the music.

Any experiences out there? Or know where I can find out??
