How to legally avoid PRO fees in public venues

Minimize business costs by bypassing PRO fees

Operating a commercial space involves high overhead, and PRO fees for background music can be a frustrating recurring expense. Fortunately, there is a legal way to stop paying these performance taxes by switching to direct-license music.

Understanding Public Venue Music Licensing

Traditional licensing fees are mandatory only when playing tracks registered with collection societies. By using high-quality royalty free tracks that aren't part of these systems, you can legally exempt your venue from these costs.

With Sonify, you get 100% royalty free status and lifetime ownership. This means no monthly subscriptions, no Content ID strikes, and most importantly, no more checks to pay to collection agencies like SIAE or BMI.
