is this not forbidden?

[ayunation]

yesterday i was in a shopping mal near my home...
and when i've take a shirt and want to buy,
i was listen to 'HEAVEN x DAISHI DANCE' from the speakers in the store...
i wonder, is that ok that they play it, or is it forbidden?
i thought its ok, becuase they can buy this remix on iTunes?

what do you think?


sorry, for my extrem bad english, hope you understand me XD

[AyuWorld]

wow they even play ayu's song at your place,i mean even in German? it's great then! ^ ^ well, i think it's ok as long as they buy it legally..

[ayuPanda]

they played it in Magdeburg O.O
awesome >.< I've never heared it in Rostock yet T_T
and it's like AyuWorld said^^ if they this are buy legally than it's okay

[noidea]

Now I have a reason to go to Magdeburg.

There's nothing illegal about playing music in a store if you bought it or it is playing on the radio/TV at the moment.

In Germany, it can happen.. the day it's playing here in Denmark, the world will go under.. XD

And yeah, sure it's legal ^^ If they've bought the song, which I guess they have, it's legal.. (:

meh, i say more power to them. you don't know if it's legal or not if you haven't asked them. I think it's fine. tooons of stoers in america play music, not japanese that would be cool, but music none the less, usualy its from a co-worker's ipod or something and it's really just for white noise so you're not walking around a silent store.

and what do you mean by "forbidden"? is it illegal to play japanese music in your country?

hahaha... NO!
i thought that this is illegal to play ayu-music which was not released in germany...
so i mean that when they're playing M (Above&Beyond) thats legal and when they're playing HEAVEN x DAISHI DANCE its forbidden...

thanx for all your help XD

[ownsarai]

I would imagine that it's fine. Just because it's not released in Germany, doesn't mean they cannot play it. If they purchased the song or album legally then it's perfectly OK.

[gothicayu]

i wish they did that here . that's really cool i d love to shop with ayu music in the background

[Mari-chan]

Here... I never heard an Ayu-Song in a Shop. Was it a shop, which has something to do with Japan?
I only saw M-Remix on VIVA.. but that's all.
I should live in Magdeburg, don'T I? Hahah!

[ayunation]

no, it was a normal clothing-store...
yes VIVA has played M and Connected in the most of the 'Club Rotation Dance Charts' in 2003-2004...
a friend tell me the store often playes japanse music...

[slavomiros]

heh...in one way, it could be seen as a tool for attracting customers...you know...some ayu-freaks to buy some cool clothes.

on the other hand...i thought the copyright notices say that "public performance, borrowing or lending...bla bla bla"...smth like that is prohibited. Isn't it the same as if I buy a Gundam anime DVD from the web and play it on a projector in a pub in Slovakia? I think that might be illegal...i'm not expert for this though. (note: we don't distribute ANY anime in Slovakia)

Really? Thats interessting. Here there is not such a store. I should move to an other city. Hahaha!
Maybee the owner of the shops also likes japanese Music.

[LacusClyne]

what would actually be not allow is:

downloading the songs from the net(illegal download), then burn on a disc and play it in a shop. especially if they did not get the music broadcast rights, in singapore here, if any stores wants to play music in their shops, they have to apply for a lisense to do that, or they will get a fine.

but honestly, no ones will know whether the song is gotten legal or not.

[AyUta]

^ Exactly. I remember a store in my local Japantown that used to play JPOP CD's that they burned. It included artists such as Hikki and some others I don't remember of. I don't ever recall hearing Ayu there though.

[asmAyumi1992]

Oh, maybe one of the workers is one of AHS members? Oh!

lol...maybe working part-time in clothes shop to support his big family?

[TITANIC]

thats really interesting. I never heard any place played ayu's song except japanese restaurant and asian music store.
we dont have mall though

[ayunation]

hmm... i hope they played the remix not illegal, and also i hope there would be played more japanese (ayu) music...

i don't know if any worker of this shop is here in AHS?
but, when you're the worker, and when you know that your store played this track, please write here!!!!

[lilmissgrusome]

its fine ^^ as long as they havnt illegaly downloaded the song, its fine
