Common licensing questions

Understanding music licensing 101

Unless you are using specifically sanctioned or approved ‘Royalty Free’ music – regardless of whether your in-store music is sourced from online streaming sites, paid subscription services or even your own CD collection, there are music license fees that you must pay to play music in your commercial environment. These license fees are commonly called ‘public performance’ license fees. And there are generally two –

One for the ‘public performance’ of the sound recording (this portion goes to Record Companies > these Record Companies might then disperse these fees to the Record Labels they own > who in turn will distribute funds back to Artists).

The other ‘public performance’ license fee is for the underlying musical works – the writers of the lyrics and musical compositions (sometimes called the ‘mechanical’ – this portion goes to song writers via the publishing companies that publish their works).

Are all music license fees the same?

The global music industry is broken up into territories and in each territory there can be different ‘collection’ societies or licensing bodies/ associations that represent either one or both of the groups mentioned above – Record Companies and Publishers.

Music license fees can vary from industry to industry and are sometimes based on specific details of the business, such as: the size of the business premises, the number of days the business is open, whether you have an an alcohol license, the size of the music catalogue and even the average cost of the meals you are selling.

Most of the collections societies have enforcement programs that investigate and carry out inspections of business sites where music is being used. In the worst case scenarios where businesses are found to be using music without the appropriate licenses and refuse to comply and pay after notice to comply has been given, legal proceedings against the businesses will commence.
