*Per 30 second unit aggregation permitted
25% reduction in fees when purchasing an audiovisual or audio-only production licence with an Online licence for the same production.
For retail productions only
Licensees will be charged per 30 seconds of music used cumulatively, based on their total usage per production. The fee will be calculated on the sum total of all music used on the production, multiplied by the rate per 30 seconds.
Retail productions are non-broadcast audio-only or audiovisual productions, including DVDs or videos for sale or rental to the general public and covermount products.
Audio-only productions for retail sale (including audio books) that are primarily for the commercial exploitation of the music are specifically excluded.
Rates for music use within gaming machines are available on request.
Interactive and looped music use is charged at the corresponding rate plus 100 percent. The interactive rate allows for unrestricted use of the same music file, containing a single music cue, throughout an entire production, and also applies to the looping of music.
NB. Retail games rates incorporate the right to loop the music.
Defined Terms
Aggregation: licensees will be charged per 30 seconds of music used (cumulative), based on their total usage per production. The fee will be calculated on the sum total of all music used on the production, multiplied by the rate per 30 seconds.
PRS Licence: services that are making the licensed production available over the internet or via mobile networks will also need to have an appropriate PRS licence covering the performing right.
The music must be strictly incidental to the content of the production.

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.
