Music Licensing
Made Simple
Understanding the licenses your business needs to stay compliant and support the artists you play.
Playing music in a business is different from listening at home. When you use music commercially, you need permission from the rights holders.
Your business needs three different licenses.
Recording License
Covers the right to use a specific recording of a song and compensates the recording artist and their record label.
Publishing License
Covers the right to use the original composition and compensates the songwriters and music composers for their intellectual property.
Public Performance License
Allows you to play the song in a public environment like your business venue, retail space, or restaurant.
