Why does my business need a COMPASS Public Communication Licence to livestream classes, workshops or seminars with copyrighted musical works?

30 Apr 2025

Singapore’s Copyright Act protects the copyrights of musical works transmitted or performed by electronic means and not just by traditional physical means. Livestreaming musical works online in classes, workshops or seminars copyrighted musical works is considered communicating to the public and therefore your business will require a COMPASS Public Communication Licence.
