If you use, play or perform music in your business or organisation, the chances are you need a music licence.
Previously, businesses and organisations had to obtain separate music licences from PPL(Phonographic Performance Limited) and PRS (Performing Rights Society) for Music. However, PPL and PRS have now come together to form PPL PRS Ltd and launched TheMusicLicence.
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.
TheMusicLicence allows you to legally play music for employees or customers in your business through the radio, TV, other digital devices and live performances.
