Copyright

Copyright is the legal protection automatically granted to creators of original works, including music. It gives composers, songwriters, musicians, and producers the exclusive right to control how their music is used, distributed, and licensed.

Copyright exists from the moment a piece of music is created no registration is required in most countries.

International agreements, including the Rome Convention, the WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT), and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT), help protect copyrighted works across national borders.

Production Music

Production music is professionally composed and produced for use in a wide range of audio-visual productions. It is typically created in clearly defined genres and styles, making it easy to find music that matches the mood, theme, or pace of a project.

Originally associated with traditional media such as television, film, and radio, production music is now widely used across today's digital media. It is suitable for documentaries, YouTube videos, podcasts, corporate films, presentations, advertising, games, educational content, and many other creative projects.

Whether your project is personal or commercial, production music helps enhance storytelling, create emotion, and give your production a polished, professional sound.

Public Performance Right

A public performance right gives the copyright holder the exclusive right to authorize the public use of a copyrighted work, including music.

A public performance may take place in two ways:

Live or direct performance – Music is played or performed in the same location as the audience, such as at concerts, hotels, restaurants, shops, exhibitions, or other public venues.
Broadcast or online transmission. Music is transmitted to an audience by radio, television, streaming services, websites, software, or other digital platforms, including on-demand services where listeners can access the content whenever they choose.

Public performance rights are generally administered by performing rights organizations (PROs), such as STIM in Sweden, which collect and distribute royalties to composers and music publishers when their music is publicly performed or communicated to the public.
