UNSW holds a music licence that allows staff and students to copy and communicate music for educational purposes and at University events.

There are no copying limits under the music licence, but best practice is to only copy what you need for educational purposes. Music can be streamed to students as long as access is restricted.

**Conditions**:

- The source recordings must be a legitimate copy. Even if you source your music from a platform that limits use to personal listening, such as iTunes or Spotify, UNSW’s music licence can sit on top of the platform licence, allowing the music to be used for educational purposes
- The copying and/or communication must be for educational purposes associated with a course of study or research or for University events (where ticket price does not exceed $40)
- All copies made must be in the repertoire of the music collecting societies.  To check if a sound recording is included, search the [APRA/AMCOS](http://apraamcos.com.au/) website.
- All sound recordings created or copied under the music licence must have appropriate labelling/statement (see below)
