This repertoire covers both film and non-film tracks. All licences granted and issued by RMPL are conditional, non-exclusive, and strictly limited in duration and scope.
A licence does not constitute a transfer of effective title, control, custody, possession, or general copyright ownership, all of which remain solely vested in the respective copyright holders.
RMPL operates as a single-window licensing clearance body for commercial users, removing the burden of having to identify, trace, and negotiate with individual owners or their legal heirs. Licence fee earnings are distributed among member owners after deducting verifiable administrative and running expenses.
Required for playing or transmitting sound recordings in commercial establishments and public environments (excluding private residences and private vehicles) as ambient background sound.
An umbrella licence obtained by a facility (such as a shopping mall or hotel) does not cover independently functioning internal venues. Separate background licences must be obtained for each salon, restaurant, lounge bar, spa, retail shop, or discotheque operating inside the premises. Furthermore, a background licence does not permit music usage for stages, dance floors, live shows, or concerts; these activities require a dedicated Events Licence.
Required for playing sound recordings during events, stage performances, shows, concerts, or dance-floor activities where performers or DJs entertain an audience in a designated area.
Hotels, shopping centres, banquet halls, ballrooms, and clubs holding an existing background music licence must obtain an additional, event-specific licence for every function held on their grounds, including fashion shows, brand promotions, sports screenings, and DJ parties.
Any individual or organization playing or communicating sound recordings belonging to RMPL members—whether for commercial or non-commercial public consumption, and via any medium including vinyl, cassettes, CDs, TV, radio, cable, or digital streaming—must obtain prior clearance.
RMPL (Recorded Music Performance Ltd.) is authorized to control public performance rights and radio broadcasting rights for sound recordings of its member music labels. It acts as a "single window" for users to obtain licenses for public use of music, handling negotiations and distributing royalties to copyright owners after deducting administrative costs.
A Public Performance License for Background Music is required for playing or communicating sound recordings in public or commercial establishments such as shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, and bars. However, if an event is hosted in these establishments (such as a DJ party, concert, or show), a separate Events License is required in addition to the background music license.
Yes, you need a Public Performance License for Events to play sound recordings at events, including stage shows, fashion shows, DJ parties, and concerts. If your establishment, like a hotel or shopping mall, has a background music license, you still need a separate license for any events held on the premises.
