Music is great for business. It creates an atmosphere, attracts customers, and boosts sales.
Even if your organisation doesn't make money from music use, you probably still need a music licence and permission to play or perform songs publicly, as well as copy or make music available online.
You don't have to use a music rights management organisation, like APRA AMCOS, for your music licensing needs. Discover how you can deal directly with copyright owners rather than license music through us.
Do you think the wrong licence scheme has been applied to your business or perhaps you've been charged incorrect licence fees? If you have a dispute about APRA AMCOS music licensing, you can contact us directly or use an affordable, independent dispute resolution service.
Do I need an APRA AMCOS licence if I only play or copy music from overseas artists?
APRA AMCOS is part of a worldwide network of collecting societies connected through reciprocal licensing agreements. This network allows our members rights to be administered all over the world, and the rights of overseas composers to be represented in New Zealand and Australia. For example, PRSforMusic administers Lorde’s rights in the UK, and we administer Ed Sheeran’s here. Your licence fee contributes income to New Zealand songwriters and to songwriters from around the world.
