Muzieklicenties in het Verenigd Koninkrijk

Muziek streamen in je bedrijf is niet hetzelfde als thuis naar muziek luisteren. Wanneer je muziek in een bedrijf voor een publiek afspeelt, heb je andere licenties nodig.

Omdat de regelgeving rond muzieklicenties regelmatig verandert, dient de informatie op deze website alleen als algemene richtlijn. Soundtrack streeft ernaar nauwkeurige en actuele informatie te bieden, maar kan de volledigheid of juistheid ervan niet garanderen. Het is uitsluitend jouw verantwoordelijkheid als gebruiker om ervoor te zorgen dat je over alle benodigde licenties voor je bedrijf beschikt, in overeenstemming met de wetgeving van de relevante gebieden.

Muzieklicenties in het Verenigd Koninkrijk

Playing music for your own personal use isn't quite the same as playing it in your business. In the United Kingdom, a business can only play music on-site if it acquires proper licensing in advance from PPL and PRS for Music. Although there is a wide variety of licenses available depending on your business type, the good news is they're all available from the same website: TheMusicLicence.

PRS for Music is a copyright collective that dates back to 1914, when it was founded as the Performing Right Society for the purpose of protecting the performance rights of composers, publishers and songwriters. The collective also includes MCPS (Mechanical Copyright Protection Society), which focuses on the mechanical rights of the same industry professionals. PRS for Music distributes royalties to its' members whenever licensed music is played in the UK.

The other major player in the UK's music licensing space is Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL). Established in 1934 by two record labels (Decca Records and EMI), PPL collectively manages rights on behalf of record labels in the United Kingdom and also distributes the royalties collected.

How does a business in the United Kingdom go about sorting out their music licensing needs? PRS for Music and PPL teamed up to create TheMusicLicence to ensure the UK has a single platform for getting licenses. Just fill in a brief form with some details about your business (including the venue type and number of employees) and an advisor from TheMusicLicence will get back to you with a tariff quote within 24 hours.
