How does the Audio Network licence work?
Q.
What does my licence cover?
For general information about licences see Blanket Licence.
Your production licence covers all costs normally paid by the production company, including all mechanical synchronisation fees, but excludes the following royalties normally payable by the broadcaster, distributor or manufacturer:
Performing Rights fees are normally paid by the broadcaster or website owner. (Performance fees are not payable for music in the Borradaile Classical Collection or for sound effects.)
Mechanical royalties are normally paid by the distributor or manufacturer on the sale of CDs or other physical products. This is generally for companies releasing music-only CDs. If the music is merely an incidental part of the production (ie talking books etc) you are covered under our general retail licence.
Our music cannot be given or sold to third parties in any format without Audio Network's permission. Obviously, if the music is part of a production, you’ll be covered by your agreement.
If required, a film performance licence covering all US-based cinemas can be obtained direct from Audio Network covering the public performance of any film containing music from our catalogue.
