NSW:Fitness class music ruling set aside

A leading industry recording group says it'll continue its bid to ensure gyms pay musicians
more money for playing their music in fitness classes.

The Federal Court's set aside a Copyright Tribunal ruling made last May .. that replaced
a copyright fee of 94.6 cents per fitness class with a fee of 15-dollars per class or
one-dollar per class member.

The case has now been back to the tribunal for re-determination.

But the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia says the billion-dollar-a-year
fitness industry should pay a fair price for licensed music.
