Reproduction licence for a venue
The consumer’s free right to copy music is limited to purely private use, so a reproduction licence is always required for using recorded music as background music. Music purchased from music stores intended for private use cannot be played in public spaces without a reproduction licence. Recording licences for copying music for public performance can be obtained from Musiikkiluvat Oy.
