The Basics of Music Licensing in Digital Media - Videos, Podcasts, Commercials, Downloads, Fair Use - What Questions Should You Be Asking?
Broadcasters need to be aware that ASCAP, BMI and SESAC (the " performing rights organizations " or PROs) don't cover them for all uses of music - especially uses that may be made on station websites. Offering downloads, podcasts, and streaming video featuring music all require specific permission from music rights holders. And, as we wrote As music usually has two different classes of rights holders - those that hold the rights to the musical composition (the lyrics and music in the song, usually held by a publishing company ), and the rights to the " sound recording " or " master recording " (usually held by the record companies ), knowing who to ask for what rights can sometimes be complicated.
