Music Licensing
Legal and Compliance
Music licensing is the legal process of obtaining permission to use copyrighted music in films, TV shows, commercials, video games, or other media, typically involving sync licenses (for pairing music with visuals) and master use licenses (for the specific recording). Music supervisors, licensing agencies, and performing rights organizations like ASCAP and BMI facilitate these deals between rights holders and content creators, ensuring composers and labels are compensated.
