Performing Rights
When purchasing from RoyaltyFreeClassical.co.uk music library, the license includes synchronization rights but it does not include performing rights. This music licensing revenue for composers and publishers is administered by performing rights societies, like ASCAP, BMI, PRS. See below for organisations listed by country. They collect public performance revenue from radio and TV stations, networks, movie theatres, and various other sources under international and national copyright protection laws. A portion of these collected royalties is divided among the composers and publishers who create and distribute the stock music you use in your productions. In order for the composers and publishers to receive this funding, the use of their music is reported by means of a " Cue Sheet" to a performing rights society. Important: There are no additional fees associated with your submission of Cue Sheets.
When to Submit a Cue Sheet
Music use should be reported on a Cue Sheet when your production is broadcast in any of the following...
-
Film use
-
Theatrical use
-
Broadcast & Cable Television use such as: Feature performances, Background performances, Theme performances, Logo performances, Infomercial performances, Promotional announcements and commercial jingle performances, Syndicated and locally originating programs
-
Local Television per program licenses such as: Films and video productions, Syndicated programming, Locally originating program broadcasts, Incidental and ambient uses of music that have been broadcast
You can use our online cue sheet or use your own method if you are familiar with this process. Your Cue Sheet must contain complete details of ALL the production music that has been used in your production, regardless of the music's composer or publisher. Performing rights societies will not accept incomplete Cue Sheets.
If you would like, you can e-mail us your completed cue sheet so we can forward it to the appropriate organisation. |
