music whether Indian or international played anywhere in public whether party,awards function etc will have to take licence and pay licence fee from orginisations like PPL and/or IPRS.Only then will it be legal to play if not it will attract penal provisions. Music bought on a cd cannot be replicated on to another cd or any device for commercial gains.
