Do you have music playing in your business? If its live music, karaoke, or even CD’s or an mp3 player over your stereo system, you need to have a license from a music licensing organization to be compliant with federal laws.
There are four licensing organizations that license performance rights for the majority of music copyright holders in the U.S. – BMI, ASCAP, GMR and SESAC.
The Washington Hospitality Association has negotiated a discount for our restaurant & bar members with one of the four organizations.
