Global Music Licensing Guide — World Map of PROs & CMOs

Every country in the world has at least one Performing Rights Organization (PRO) or Collective Management Organization (CMO) that demands annual fees from any business playing music in public — a bar in Berlin pays GEMA, a hotel in Tokyo pays JASRAC, a shop in São Paulo pays ECAD. The fees, the rules, and the inspections vary wildly. Sonify Music offers a single, globally valid Direct License that legally exempts your venue from these obligations, anywhere in the world.

One license, every country

No matter where your business operates, the Sonify Direct License covers you. Below is the full world map of the major PROs and CMOs we replace — click any country to read the dedicated guide.
