Music licensing

Authorise Music
for a Defined Use.

Licensing allows music to be used in a specific context under appropriate permissions, terms and rights clearance.

Potential licensing contexts

Different uses require
different conversations.

Not every request is handled identically. The music, right, duration, territory, media and intended use can affect the appropriate licensing pathway.

Broadcast

Radio, television or other broadcast uses.

Digital media

Online, social or digital publishing environments.

Audiovisual projects

Music used together with moving images.

Advertising

Campaigns promoting products, services or organisations.

Events

Defined music uses within public or private event contexts.

Branded content

Content produced for or with a commercial brand.

Commercial productions

Other productions requiring specific music permission.

Rights before use

Identify the music
and the permissions.

A licensing request may involve the master recording, the underlying composition, performance or related rights, or a combination. Additional rightsholder approval may be necessary when Indigenous Tunes is not authorised to clear every relevant right.

A useful licensing enquiry

Context helps determine
the correct pathway.

A clear licensing enquiry identifies the requested track or catalogue, intended use, media, territory, term, audience and timing. Providing information does not create a licence or authorisation.
