Remi did not seek permission to perform the song at his commercial performances, which means that he infringed on the copyright holder's exclusive right to perform their copyrighted work publicly for commercial purposes. However, Remi's performances at schools were likely exempted under the fair dealing exception for education and private study, which allows the use of copyrighted works without permission for the purpose of education. Therefore, the copyright for the song was infringed at the commercial performances but not at the school performances.
