What happened
ACPOSL and IPRS implemented new rules requiring a license to play Sinhala, Tamil, and Hindi songs in public settings in Sri Lanka. These regulations apply to events such as weddings, parties, banks, supermarkets, private and corporate events, and DJ shows. The rules were gazetted by the Association of Creators and Publishers of Sri Lanka under the National Intellectual Property Office of Sri Lanka and came into force on September 15.
