ABOUT

Why do you need a music license?

Music is similar to any other product; it is designed, created, and owned by individuals or companies. Copyright laws protect that ownership, and obtaining a license is necessary to avoid infringing on their copyright and facing potential legal action.

MASTER RIGHTS

RECORD LABELS

Music master rights refer to the legal rights associated with a song's sound recording, which include the rights to reproduce, distribute, and perform it. Master rights are also known as sound recording copyrights.

PUBLISHING RIGHTS

MUSIC PUBLISHERS

Music publishing rights refer to the legal rights associated with a song's composition, which includes the lyrics, melody, and structure. These rights ensure that songwriters receive compensation for their work.

VOCAL PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

OTHERE LEGAL ENTITIES

In rare cases, well-known songs may have additional rights beyond standard copyright protections. It's primarily due to the distinctive vocal quality of the artists, which has become iconic over the years.

IT'S A LOT OF ADMIN &

THEY HAVE THE POWER

In South Africa, production companies less frequently utilise music supervisors than those in more developed media markets. Instead, they often rely on in-house lawyers or knowledgeable employees.

However, our market is growing rapidly, and the music industry is continually evolving. It is becoming increasingly important to have a mediator between music rights holders and media production companies to ensure compliance with regulations.
