From a broad scope, all types of music licenses represent legal permission to use a song for a particular project.
- With the appropriate license, the customer has full permission to use the song as written in the documents.
- Without a license, or without an appropriate license, the user is illegally using an artist’s original work and may be subject to legal action or litigation.
It’s essential to know how to license music for the protection of the artist and the person using their work.
A different perspective — and the reason why we started Songfindr in the first place — is that through music licensing we’ve given musicians a whole new opportunity to earn money from their music.
By giving legal permission to use their work, we’re in turn giving them the income they need to continue making great music.
