Who doesn’t love listening to music? Or using a song for your advertisement, or even for private use? This is something that we are all doing at some point.
But one thing that we all
need to know is what the most important music licensing agency myths are to
know about. To make sure that you know that you are doing everything legally.
If you are thinking about copying a song from the internet, or buying one license
and use it for other purposes as well, you need to read this. These are some of
the most important music licensing myths that people believe.
Personal Versus Commercial
Use
This is the most common myth
that people believe. That if you are using any form of music for personal use,
without sharing it with anyone else, that you don’t need to have a music
license, or that you don’t need to contact Music Supervision Companies. That
this is only something that large companies need to do when they are looking
for songs for a play, television show or to play over the radio.
However, this isn’t the
truth. If you didn’t purchase the song online, or you didn’t purchase a CD,
then you aren’t allowed to have the song with you. Even if you are using it for
personal use. No matter what. Anyone that wants to use a song needs to have a
license for the reason of using the song.
If You Have One Music License, You Can Use The Song For Anything
Another myth is that if you
have bought a music license for one purpose of using the song, you can use it
for other reasons as well. For example, if you are buying a license for using
it on the radio, and you are now using it on television as well. You have
bought the song, so you can use it whatever way you want.
This isn’t the truth. There
are different licenses that you can buy, and you need to read the Music
Licensing Terms before you can use the song in any other way. You can get in
serious trouble if you are using it incorrectly.
Artists Don’t Care About
Music Rights
The most important thing for
artists is that they want their songs and names to get out there, in the world.
So, they don’t care about music rights, and people buying licenses before they
can use their music. Or, this is what people think about music artists.
However, one thing that
people forget is the fact that this is the artist's only way of making money.
If you are using their music without paying for it, you are stealing money from
them. Yes, they want people to know them, but this isn’t the most important thing.
This is why they are making use of Music Supervision Companies in the first
place. Otherwise, they will just upload the music to the internet and wait for
exposure.
Why Pay For A Music License
If You Can Download The Song For Free?
https://vimeo.com/channels/scout2018A question that people are asking a lot. Why do you need to pay the Music Licensing Agency to get a song, or to use a song, if you can download it for free from the internet? And, if you need to pay, why is the song free online?
One thing you need to remember
is that people are uploading songs, without the consent of the agencies or
artists. Making it easy for you to get the song. But it is still illegal.
Especially, if you are going to use it on radio, movie, clip, or even just
listening to it privately. You might still be able to download the song for
free, but basically, you are stealing it from the artist.
These are all myths about Music Supervision Companies and music
using rights. Now, you will know what is illegal and what is legal. One thing
you should always remember is that if you didn’t purchase the song or CD, you
are listening to the song illegally. And, if you are using it for making money,
you can get into serious legal problems of using music without the right
licenses.
