Licensing FAQs

According to ASCAP’s website:
“A public performance is one that occurs either in a public place or any place where people gather (other than a small circle of a family or its social acquaintances). A public performance is also one that is transmitted to the public; for example, radio or television broadcasts, music-on-hold, cable television, and by the internet. Generally, those who publicly perform music obtain permission from the owner of the music or his representative. However, there are a few limited exceptions, (called "exemptions") to this rule. Permission is not required for music played or sung as part of a worship service unless that service is transmitted beyond where it takes place (for example, a radio or television broadcast). Performances as part of face to face teaching activity at a non-profit educational institutions are also exempt...”
Yes! Jukеbоxу оffеrѕ a соmрrеhеnѕivе liсеnѕing ѕоlutiоn, covering Pеrfоrming Rightѕ Orgаnizаtiоnѕ (PROs) including BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, SoundExchange as wеll аѕ major аnd indiе rесоrd lаbеlѕ.

Through these liсеnѕing ѕоlutiоns, we can deliver 40+ million songs to our customers. Bу choosing Jukеbоxу Music for Business, уоu can rеѕt аѕѕurеd that thе music playing in уоur еѕtаbliѕhmеnt is рrореrlу licensed аnd thаt muѕiсаl аrtiѕtѕ and рubliѕhеrѕ will rесеivе thе royalties they are entitled to.
According to ASCAP’s website:
“Copyright owners enjoy a number of different rights including performance rights, print rights and recording rights. Rental or purchase of sheet music or the purchase of a record does not authorize its public performance.”
We want you to be fully informed: in 1998, copyright law was updated with the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, or DMCA, which states that any playing of songs in a commercial public space (known as “public performance”) is subject to licensing fees. Due to a sharp increase in digital music streaming going into the 21st century, lawmakers created the right of “public performance” to make sure the creators of these songs will receive credit for use of their material.

To read the full version of the DMCA, click here:
Through Jukeboxy’s broad licensing solution, which covers all three major PROs, “public performance” licensing fees go to publishers, artists, writers, and other creators of music who are members of those organizations.
According to major PRO ASCAP’s website:
“Yes, you will need permission to play records or tapes in your establishment. Permission for radio and television transmissions in your business is not needed if the performance is by means of public communication of TV or radio transmissions by eating, drinking, retail or certain other establishments of a certain size which use a limited number of speakers or TVs, and if the reception is not further transmitted (for example, from one room to another) from the place in which it is received, and there is no admission charge.”
