BBC has announced the issue of a ban on Neil Young And the Doors’ music following copyright changes. The station also will not be playing any music from Bonnie Raitt and Journey. All the artists included in the ban have withdrawn from the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society (MCPS), which means they no longer accept the society’s licensing agreements. Wixen Music, the rights representative of these artists, released a statement, saying, “The BBC can use Neil Young and The Doors any time they negotiate a license with us to do so in a given programme.” They add, “All we are saying is that we won’t pre-approve uses or fees if the clients have not had an opportunity to review and approve the uses and fees.” Any covers of the artists’ songs or songs using samples of their music are also blacklisted from being played on the station.
