Songs or recordings played on radio are owned by the songwriter, composer, artist and record company. If we were not in an educational facility we would be stealing the song but because we are we don't need to pay for it. Royalty's are payed to the artist to play their song for example if someone is playing a song on the BBC radio station they would have to pay the artist.
You need four licenses to play in the shops for e.g PRS or PPL. PRS collects royalty's for using the music for the writer composer and publishers. PPL License bought from the PPL allows you to play music in public. To legally play an artists music the radio station must by a licence.
Section 8 This section is about fairness they apply to broadcasters treat the individuals or organisations participating or affected by programs or in the making of programs, rather than what the general public see's and hears as viewers and listeners.
If you fail to follow it breaks the rules and it results in unwanted infringement of privacy. The broadcasting act 1996 requires OFCOM to consider complaints about unwanted infringement of privacy and program.
