In-Store Music - 100% Royalty Free Music.

Background music is necessary to set the right mood to your store or business premise environment. Use in-store music to your advantage. However as many business owners and managers already know, using commercial music or needledrop music as background in-store music can be very expensive with the initial licensing fees and reoccuring royalties. Here's a list of places that can benefit from using royalty free music as in-store music - Royalty free music uses - In-Store Music.

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.
