Music Licenses

Music licenses are legal permissions that allow individuals or businesses to use copyrighted music publicly or commercially. They ensure creators and rights holders are compensated for their work. Licenses are required for activities like playing music in a store, using songs in videos, streaming, or broadcasting. There are different types, such as performance licenses (for live or broadcast use), mechanical licenses (for reproducing songs), and synchronization licenses (for syncing music with visual media). Obtaining the appropriate license ensures lawful use, prevents copyright infringement, and supports the ongoing creation of music.
