Who thinks all tv shows should list what music they have used in the show?
I know its great fun asking our boffins at answer bank for the answers of such questions "what was that song in that show the other day".


However if I was to sample a song in a record, every man and dog would be asking me for some kind of recognition and monies.


So how do they (bbc most guilty ) get away with it?


Would it be classed as advertisment?


Still I think it would be usefull information for us !


Who's with me????

They don't get away with anything. Any copyrighted music they use will be delcared to the Performing Rights Society. An organisation like the BBC will already be paying an annual PRS licence anyway (although someone will still have to fill in the tedious forms listing music used, composer, number of times played, etc, etc.)

I agree it could be useful for Joe Public but that doesn't mean they have to tell us! : - )
Funny, I was thinking this same thing just last night.
Feature films always provide a list of music credits, surely it wouldn't take much for TV progs to do the same.
