LEGALITY AND MUSIC PLAYBACK IN YOUR BUSINESS

 

 

 

We often come across customers who mistakenly believe that they are complying with the rules for public music playback. Unfortunately, the rules can be quite complex and difficult to understand. Visit our website to learn more and clarify whether your business complies with the copyright law.

"We only play music from the TV, so we don't need to pay fees to the national collection agency" is a statement we hear frequently, but it's not always true according to the law.

If you play music from radio or TV, you must pay the fee to the collection agency. If you play copyright-protected music, you must pay the fee - and this applies to streaming services as well. In addition, the streaming service must be approved for commercial use.
