Re:Sound is the Canadian organization, authorized by the Copyright Board of Canada, to provide you with the music licence(s) your business needs and help you understand the licensing process.
Individual artists and record companies worldwide designate organizations, such as Re:Sound, to license businesses that use recorded music publicly. This allows businesses and broadcasters to deal with a one-stop-shop that can grant them a licence to play recorded music and ensure that licensing fees are distributed fairly and accurately to artists and record companies.
In fact, 87% of customers agree that playing music creates a better atmosphere. Additionally, music licensing is a vital income stream for artists, essential for them to continue making the music we enjoy.
With the majority of bars, restaurants and retailers paying less than $1 a day for a Re:Sound licence, the value of being licensed to play music is clear.
