Music licensing in Poland

Streaming music in your business isn't the same as listening to music at home. When you play music for an audience with a business and commercial purpose, you need different licenses.

As the music licensing space changes frequently, please note that the information on this website is for general guidance only. Soundtrack aims to provide accurate and current information, but cannot guarantee its completeness or accuracy. It is solely your responsibility as the user to ensure you hold all necessary licenses for your business, in accordance with the laws of relevant territories.

Change the way you play

Soundtrack offers an excellent selection of music because of our direct relationships with publishers, performing rights organizations and record labels. These include Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and more. Our technology accurately tracks your song plays, which ensures that music creators get the right payments from us. Soundtrack Unlimited makes royalty payments about 5 times higher than streaming services for private use.

Music licensing in Poland

Three of the four music licensing organizations in Poland are relatively new, having not existed until the 1990s. ZAiKS, Związek Autorów i Kompozytorów Scenicznych or the Association of Authors and Stage Composers is the exception, as it has been operating since 1918 when a selection of creators set out to protect the rights of creatives and their works. ZPAV, Związek Producentów Audio-Video or the Association of Audio-Video Producers was founded in 1991 and is very similar in function to SIAE in Italy. In 1993, GESTOR, Giełda Praw Autorskich or the Copyright Exchange was launched to help facilitate music licensing. The most recently formed organization is STOART, Stowarzyszenie Twórców Ochrony Praw Autorskich i Nowych Technologii or the Association for the Protection of Copyrights and New Technologies which was launched to protect audio visual works. Businesses in Poland that make use of music, might need to arrange individual licenses with each of the four collecting organizations operating in this space. There is not currently a singular combined license available and so it is worth contacting each company separately.
