Yes. To avoid copyright infringement when playing live recordings on your radio station, you should first gain permission from the copyright owner, or ensure that the recordings are available in the public domain. Furthermore, make sure to adhere to the performance and mechanical rights licensed granted by copyright owners. When possible, it’s best to use recordings released by major labels as they typically have blanket license agreements in place with broadcasters which specify allowed usages androyalties payment details.

Yes, avoiding copyright infringement when playing live recordings on your radio station is possible with a few tips. First, make sure that you only play portions of the recording that fall under the "fair use" provision of copyright law. Generally speaking, playing short snippets of a song on air should be okay, but seek legal counsel to confirm your state's specific laws. Additionally, it's important to obtain the proper licenses and permissions for any songs that you plan to play in full or in part. This includes contacting the copyright holders for Permission to use their material or paying licensing fees to a performing rights organization such as BMI or ASCAP. You can also avoid problems by not making recordings available online without permission from the copyright holder and deleting any unauthorized content upon request from rights holders. By following these procedures, you will have better protection against copyright infringement when playing live recordings on your radio station.
