Music licensing is complex

While there are many options for sharing music with your customers, you may need to dedicate a hefty budget and six months to two years time to negotiate licensing directly with multiple rightsholders, send your customers out to a third-party platform, or use generic royalty-free music.

Whether you are sharing music in your app, in a blog post, or in your store or gym, you have to get permission and pay the rightsholders. Many small business owners stream directly from their Spotify accounts, but unfortunately, that is not a legal solution.

Intro to music licensing 

Disclaimer: Please note this is not a substitute for legal advice, but a quick overview of the complex music licensing world.

Almost all the music you hear, and most likely the music you want to use, is copyrighted. This means that one or more parties own the rights to it. Using this music without paying the rightsholders can get your company into very expensive legal problems. In most cases, businesses will need multiple licenses for their company’s music usage, and in fact, may need multiple licenses for even just one song.

To start, one must understand that there are two copyrighted works in every recording.  The first is the composition, which includes the notes and words. The composition is generally owned by the songwriters and their music publisher.  The second is the sound recording, which is an artist’s recording of a composition. The sound recording is generally owned by the artist or record label.

 


In all cases, it is better to ask for permission than forgiveness.

Why does it work?


Most people know intuitively that music is a motivator. And, there is an increasing body of research that shows music is performance-enhancing when paired with fitness. Music distracts from fatigue sensations, and athletes need less oxygen to do the same work. Pairing music and workouts delivers even stronger results when movements are synchronized to the music’s tempo.

And, not just any music will do . . .
