MYTH: "I pay my live musicians, so I don’t need to pay for music licence."

FACT: Paying musicians does not remove the need for a music licence. Paying a performer covers their time and labour, but a licence is still required to publicly perform music that is protected by copyright, even if that performer is the creator of that music. That is, the licence covers the rights in the performance of the music itself.

When you pay a musician, you are paying them for their time and performance. However, the music being performed - the song, composition or recording - is owned by songwriters, composers, music publishers and record labels. In many cases, the artists you have paid to perform the music don’t own the rights and are not entitled to provide the permission for them to be performed.

Under copyright legislation, music creators have the right to authorise others to publicly perform their copyright-protected music. This means that a business must obtain permission for that use as paying a performer is not the same as paying the actual copyright owner. For the vast majority of the world’s repertoire of copyright-protected music, permission for public performance is provided in the form of a OneMusic licence.
