Musiklicensiering i Tyskland

Att strömma musik i företaget är inte samma sak som att lyssna på musik hemma. När man spelar upp musik för en målgrupp i affärsmässigt och kommersiellt syfte behövs olika licenser.

Eftersom villkoren för licensiering av musik ofta ändras är informationen på den här webbplatsen endast avsedd som allmän rådgivning. Soundtrack avser att tillhandahålla korrekt och aktuell information men kan inte garantera att informationen är fullständig och exakt. Som användare är du ensam ansvarig för att säkerställa att du innehar alla licenser som krävs för ditt företag i enlighet med relevant lokal lagstiftning.

Musiklicensiering i Tyskland

Music is one of the best tools for driving customer engagement, but it's not as simple as just pressing play. In Germany, businesses that want to play music on-site need licensing in place before they turn the music on. Music licenses for German businesses are available from GEMA.

Germany is home to only one performing rights organization: GEMA (Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte). GEMA was established in 1933 and protects performance rights on behalf of composers, lyricists and publishers in Germany. They also distribute royalties from music licensing to their members in Germany.

Germany's other main copyright collection society is GVL (Gesellschaft zur Verwertung von Leistungsschutzrechten). Founded in 1959, GVL protects the neighboring rights of performers and producers. GVL collaborates with GEMA where neighboring rights and public performance overlap, but GEMA collects the royalties on their behalf.

Any business in Germany looking to sort out their music licensing needs can do so easily on GEMA's website. All you need to do is fill out a brief form about the type of business you operate and some details about what your business offers. After filling in the form, you'll see a summary of the license you need and what it costs. GEMA offers monthly, quarterly and annual payment plans.
