Angry Wedding music copyrights

Here's an interesting one!

I have often read peoples questions relating to music copyright when it is included in productions that are not generally for public consumption for example, wedding video's.

I came across this interesting snippet when registering for the IOV. It discusses the copyright law if you video a scene where the music is in the background and not specifically added to the track, for instance the 'first dance' of a newly wedded couple.

It is interesting that they deem the music at a wedding reception to be a 'feature' which means that you have to seek permission from the artist or record company to publish.

What views have we on this?
