Quick Pro Tip: Clarifying Concert Streaming Rules (Part 2)
Last week, we discussed the legalities of sharing concert recordings, and today we're back with important clarifications! In this follow-up episode, Alan and Steve break down a key question from listeners: Do schools need a license to live-stream a concert while it's happening? The answer is nuanced, but the good news is there are legal, free ways to livestream—as long as you follow a few simple guidelines.
Steve shares updates from NAfME and NFHS (with the usual legal disclaimers) and clarifies:
When it’s okay to stream on YouTube or Facebook
When you do need a license
What “archival use” means—and how it helps your students
And why you probably weren’t breaking the law 20 years ago
If you're trying to navigate music performance rights in 2025, this episode will help.
Also: A quick plug to check out last week’s episode for practical licensing tools and a discount code just for listeners.
