Please note
An administration fee of £8 will be charged for each licence issued. Rates are quoted in £ sterling for a unit of 30 seconds or part thereof for each separate cue, unless otherwise stated. Aggregation of cues is not permitted unless otherwise stated. All fees are exclusive of VAT.
A licence is not valid until payment has been received by MCPS. MCPS reserves the right to request a copy of any completed production for verification purposes.
All rates apply to digital delivery via internet, intranet and mobile networks. The rates are inclusive of dubbing fees and incorporate the right to reproduce both the underlying musical work AND the sound recording. All rates incorporate the right to loop the music.
Performing right online licence
The performing right online licence covers the act of communicating music to the public when you want to use music online and have already cleared the mechanical rights (i.e. the right to copy/ reproduce the track) separately.
Performing right online licence is charged in units of £60 (+VAT)
Music hours are calculated by multiplying the viewer hours (i.e. the amount of time in total that users spend watching the content) by the percentage of music
in the content.
If music is the main focus of the content, see our explanation of usage limits.
