You need to know what licensing schemes sections 149 to 155 of the Copyright Act 1994 apply to. These sections apply to licensing schemes operated by licensing bodies for works like books, music, or films. They also apply to schemes for sound recordings, communication works, or computer programs. You will find that these sections apply to schemes that let people copy or perform works in public. They also apply to schemes that let people rent copies of works like computer programs or films. Some schemes let educational establishments copy works for their students. The term licensing scheme in these sections means a scheme that does these things. It includes schemes that authorise copying or recording in certain circumstances, such as those set out in section 45(4), sections 48(1), and 91(2). These schemes can be about different types of works, like literary or dramatic works.
