    Do You Really Need PPL, NOVEX, and IPRS Licenses for Weddings?

    Recent changes in copyright law now require public venues hosting weddings to obtain music licensing like Public Performance License (PPL), NOVEX, and Indian Performing Right Society (IPRS) registrations. Previously exempt, wedding ceremonies must now comply with licensing rules under the DPIIT’s November 2024 order. This mandate aims to ensure that music played at wedding events follows copyright regulations, avoiding potential disruptions, fines, or legal challenges. Although the legal validity of these licenses is contested, securing them remains advisable until further judicial clarification. Discover more about the impact of this order on public venues and the steps required to obtain the necessary licenses. For guidance and clarification, feel free to reach out to J.P. Associates.
