Commercial streaming rights

Included in your Kollekt.FM subscription

Playing music in your business is not the same as playing music at home. Consumer streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon Music and YouTube Music are not licensed for commercial use. Using them to play music in your venue violates their Terms of Service and exposes your business to legal risk.

Many small businesses are unaware of this. When using non-compliant streaming services, the artists you play are not fairly compensated for their work.

Kollekt.fm is a commercially licensed music source. We handle the streaming, reproduction and synchronization rights needed to play music in your business. This is what we call: music with peace of mind.


Public performance rights

You have to arrange this yourself — Kollekt.fm can help

Playing music in a public or commercial space requires a public performance license. This is a separate legal requirement in most countries.

This license is issued by local collecting societies (also known as Performing Rights Organizations or PROs). Each country has its own organizations, and the license must be obtained by the business owner directly.

In most countries, the cost of a public performance license depends on the type of business, the floor area where music can be heard, and other factors like the number of employees or visitors. Many countries now offer a single portal where you can obtain all required licenses at once. We can help you find and contact the right local organizations.
