How Music Licensing Really Works:
If you’re new to music licensing, we’re here to help. Let’s start with some facts about music licensing to cover the basics. Then, let’s talk about why your project can benefit from TSM’s award-winning music.
What is a music license?
A music license provides legal permission to use a song for your video, slideshow or within your business. You’ll need a license to add (‘synchronize’) music within your slideshows, videos, film projects and any other types of presentation. You need a license to sell copies of videos or products containing music to your clients or to upload videos/slideshows to your website, Facebook and YouTube. We make this process easy.
Can I use music CDs or files I already own? Can I use the music I bought on iTunes?
No, that would not be legal. When you purchase a music CD at a retail store, or when you buy a song from iTunes, you are only allowed to use the music for personal listening. You cannot use this music legally within your business in any way. If you want to use it, you’ll need a license
What types of licenses do I need to use music in my videos or slideshows?
To license a song for use in your projects, permission must be granted by:
- The owner of the audio recording (usually a record label). This is called a “Master Use” license.
- The copyright owner of the song and lyrics (usually a publishing company). This license is called a “Synchronization” or “Sync” license.
You must have permission from both the record label and the publisher in order to use the recorded song. The tricky part? Many songs have multiple, independent owners. These labels and publishers may not agree on how much to charge for specific types of uses. They often prefer to negotiate independently when a business wants to license a song. If it sounds a little complicated, that's because it is. However, no worries! We've already handled all of these legal issues for every single song in the Triple Scoop Music Catalog.
