About Course

Playing music in a shop, office, gym, salon, pub or other business usually needs a licence because the music is protected by copyright. This course explains TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS, when it is needed (including radio, TV and staff-only areas), exceptions such as royalty-free music, and how music licensing fits with other licences.
