Music Copyright Licensing: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn if your cafe needs a music license and how the royalty fees are calculated to ensure you play music legally.
This scheme provides the legal authorization required to play copyrighted music in a commercial setting.
Who it's for
This applies to business owners who play background music in their establishments, such as those running cafes.
What you get
By obtaining this license, you gain the legal right to play copyrighted music within your business premises without facing legal issues.
What it costs you
You will need to pay a monthly royalty fee. The specific amount you pay is determined by the floor area of your business space.
The catch to know
Having a personal subscription to a music streaming service does not grant you the right to play music in a business. Even if you pay for a service, you still need this specific license for commercial public performance.
How to apply
- Determine the total floor area of your business space.
- Visit the official association website to check the current fee structure.
- Complete the registration process for music licensing.
- Set up your monthly royalty payments.
