Synchronization License (Sync License):
Musicbed’s platform is built on representing musicians and composers for sync licensing. This method of licensing refers to music that is going to be paired (or synced) with some form of visual media. Sync licenses have a broad range of uses, including commercials, studio films, streaming advertisements, personal films, internal communications, and more. How they work:
When a musician creates an original work and registers the copyright for that work, that song becomes their intellectual property. By law, that property cannot be used by anyone other than the copyright owner without written consent from the owner. As a way to earn income from their work, artists and copyright owners can issue licenses that allow others to legally use their work in their projects. These licenses will include the usage and term rights, which determines how the song will be used.
