5 Music Licensing Scenarios You Might Face
A music composer’s guide

The website of the music library acts as a store.
The client selects the desired music from the available catalog and pays online.
The licensing fee is low.
The composer receives 40 to 60% of the fee.

Some music libraries may issue a “Blanket License.”
They will license their catalog to a client for an annual fee.
The music composer does not usually receive compensation for these deals.

The client is dealing directly with you (the music composer).
You negotiate your fee with the client.
If a custom cue, charge accordingly.
Consider other factors such as exclusivity, reuse and rewrites.

The client is looking for a version of a public domain song.
Verify song is in the public domain (may vary by country).
Copyright your arrangement.

The client invokes the “Fair use” statute.
“Fair Use” permits the limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission.
Examples of fair use include commentary, search engines, criticism, news reporting, research, teaching, library archiving and scholarship.
Composer receives no compensation.
