Universal Music Sues YouTube, MySpace

Universal Music filed suit against popular web sites YouTube and MySpace for music copyright violations; both sites deny the allegations but Universal claims they are owed millions. These two lawsuits are just the beginning in what promises to be a long line of lawsuits to come; the music industry is coming down increasingly hard on those who continue to broadcast music without a music license.

As in our previous blog a couple of days ago, Performance Rights Organizations like ASCAP also recently took legal action against 2 dozen venues playing music without paying royalties. Any business including restaurants, businesses who use music on hold, muzak, in-store music, basically any one who plays music intended for the public to hear or on the internet must obtain music license to play music legally.

These legal actions are avoidable through the purchase of music licenses or royalty free music, royalty free music being the cheaper and easier to obtain of the two. Unlike most music licenses there is only a one time fee and the purchaser is free to use the music as often and however they like. If you’re still playing music without a proper license you really should consider royalty free music for peace of mind. It‘s worth the small fee, as being sued could cost you thousands if not millions of dollars. There is really no reason to continue risking legal action, your business and reputation by playing music illegally.

No More Cheesy Royalty Free Music

If you are looking for affordable music for your productions or business but think royalty free music equates to cheesy 80s style muzak, you’d be pleasantly surprise with music from the Opuzz royalty free music library. Opuzz music is of quality and is contemporary and relevant for today’s production and business needs. Read more on Cheese Free Music At A Tasty Price.

Unlike many online royalty free music libraries that build their libraries by accepting music submitted by anyone willing to sell their compositions, music from the Opuzz Royalty Free Music Library is completely produced in-house by award winning professional musicians. This allows for us to consistently release new music that our customers look for while keeping a tab on quality. Unlike in the world of commercial popular music, using royalty free music that is overly exposed can be a bad thing. We do not take in music from outside composers as we often find many resell their music with other libraries. Music on Opuzz is composed specifically for the Opuzz Library and is only available on Opuzz.com.

If you like your music dairy free, start sampling our royalty free music. All our preview samples can be downloaded in its entirety so you know exactly what it sounds like. No guessing required. From classical to urban hip-hop; orchestrated film-style scores to ethic world tracks, Opuzz has pre-cleared music that you’re looking for, with the reasonable fees royalty free music is known for.

Royalty Free Music and Needle Drop Music Licensing Compared

I have just posted a short comparison guide of the PROs and CONs of royalty free music vs. needle drop music licensing. In summary, royalty free music is a simpler, faster, more affordable alternative to traditional music licensing.

ASCAP Initiates Lawsuit for Playing Copyrighted Music

Are you a business owner or manager? Are you aware it is illegal to play copyrighted music on the premises (for example, music on hold, in-store music) without a music license? If you already know the the importance of playing music legally, but have been holding off getting a music license because of the cost, you should consider royalty free music as an alternative. Unlike the majority of music licenses, royalty free music cost a one-time low fee. You are then free to use the music as many times, in a many ways, for as long as you like. Regular music licenses like needle drop licensing usually have strict guidelines on how the music is to be used, and charge fees base on demographic, 'attendees', geographic use, medium, etc as well as addition royalties.

If you are hesitant to use royalty free music because you believe customers only want to hear popular music, you should know royalty free music is as well produced, composed and appealing as any music heard on the radio today. Because the demand for royalty free music is rapidly growing, royalty free music libraries like Opuzz have been working hard to provide a good selection of hi-quality royalty free music.

It is really important to get your music legally, especially today as the music industry is coming down hard on those who flaunt the law or even plead ignorence. Last week in Seattle two dozen venues were cited in a lawsuit by ASCAP for failing to properly license their music. This need not happen to you especially since obtaining music legally is easy and inexpensive with royalty free music.

Alternative to Sync License

Any one out there who is in search of music for their media project might want to consider looking into royalty free music. It’s significantly less expensive than music that require sync license and obtaining it is simple. Unlike music with sync license which involves lots of complicated paperwork, royalty free music only requires an initial fee to be paid upfront, and then you’re free to use the music as often as you like in different projects. Sync license fees also have stipulations depending on how long your project is and how you use the music, which can increase your costs even further.

Royalty free music is rapidly becoming the popular choice for producers who want to spend less, but not sacrifice quality. Royalty free music libraries like Opuzz offer high-quality royalty free music that is on par with popular music works.

Your project is important, and you deserve to have great music to accompany it. If you’re interested in royalty free music and would like more info on how it compares to sync music, check out this article 'Royalty Free Music : An Alternative to Sync License' and decide for yourself.

Hold Onto Your Clients with Music On Hold

A lot of companies today are implementing music on hold in their call management systems as a way of promoting their business with theme appropriate music, for example, if the business is a trendy clothing store they may play hip-hop or techno music. Music on hold is also a away of keeping the person on hold from becoming impatient or bored and as a result hanging up, potentially costing the company a client.

You should know however that if you’re looking to implement music on hold in your company’s call management system you must obtain your music legally. Playing certain songs or music on your call management system can be considered illegal since most music purchased is meant for private use, and the fines imposed on companies who use music illegally can be very high.

Fortunately there are legal ways to obtain background music; music services, licensing agreements and royalty free music. These services can vary in price, with royalty free music being one of the least expensive and most popular. Unlike licensing fees which are complicated to obtain and often charge additional money on top of their fee, using royalty free music only costs you a one time fee and you are then free to use the music any way you want, as often as you want. If you are considering music on hold and want more info check out this article ’Music On Hold : Let The Music Play', and find out what music on hold can do for your company.
