A group of major private music school operators said Tuesday they intend to take legal action against Japan¡¯s largest copyright collection group after it emerged it would from next January levy copyright fees on schools using its music.
The music school operators said they planned to file a lawsuit against the Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers (JASRAC) with the Tokyo District Court as early as July, a representative told The Japan Times.
In February, JASRAC informed several hundred private music school operators it will begin collecting copyright fees for the use of sheet music under its management.
