10 Facts about
Music Licensing
Licensing Can Be a Nightmare
Getting all of the music
licenses you need for a project
can be a nightmare…
♫ However, the music licensing
process is necessary in order
to avoid copyright
infringement.
♫ Since the average person can
become easily confused
navigating the world of music
licensing, check out these
MUST KNOW facts:
You Need Two Licenses to
Get Started
♫ To get started, you need to
have two different licenses
to technically have the rights
to the music.
♫ The licenses are for
composition and recording.
♫ Composition licenses allow
you to use the actual lyrics
of the song and the
recording license will allow
you to use the recorded
music from a specific artist.
Then You Need More Licenses
After you receive the two initial
licenses… Other licenses you will
need are:
♫ Public Performance
Rights License
♫ Master Use License
♫ Synchronization
License
♫ Transcription License
A License is Required Every
Time You Use a Song
Some reasons why people need
music licenses are:
♫ To use music for corporate
videos
♫ To use music for non-profit
videos
♫ To use music for wedding
videos
♫ To use music for restaurants
You need a license every time you use a song
Each License Comes with A
Different Fee
Depending on what license you need,
there will be different fees for the music
you use.
♫ For example, if you
want to use music on
a radio program, you
will need a recording
and composition
license in addition to a
transcription license.
♫ This is because you
are not going to use a
visual, so you don’t
have to pay for a
synchronization
license which is for
music and a visual.
You Need Help Buying a
License
♫ When buying a license,
you need a bit of help.
♫ It is NOT very easy to
purchase music from a
major record label or
publishing company.
♫ You need to purchase
the licenses from a
music licensing
company, like Ricall.
You Should Always Attain a
License NEVER try to use music without a
license unless you are absolutely
sure that it is public domain. ♫ It’s easy to be charged
with copyright
infringement if you don’t
have all the necessary
licenses you need to use
copyrighted music.
♫ Always ensure that you
have the proper
documentation every
time you need to use a
song for a project.
