If you use, play or listen to recorded music in your business or organisation, the chances are you need a licence.
Under The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, permission is needed from the relevant copyright holders – those people who create music – in order to play or perform music in public.
Obtaining TheMusicLicence gives you this permission, in relation to the vast majority of commercially available music. This ranges from grassroots and independent artists and composers through to the biggest names in the business.
It means you don’t have to spend your time and energy contacting potentially hundreds of thousands of rightsholders individually to get permission to play or perform their music in your business.
What usage does TheMusicLicence not cover?
