Music Licensing

Music licensing is the legal process that grants permission to use copyrighted music in various projects, such as movies, TV shows, commercials, or performances. It ensures that the creators or rights holders of the music are compensated for their work. When someone wants to use a song, they must obtain a license—often from organizations like performance rights organizations (PROs) or directly from the rights holders. This process helps protect musicians’ rights and ensures fair payment, allowing the music to be shared and enjoyed legally across different media and platforms.
