LICENSING


	Who Needs MACP Licence
	MACP's licence is required by any person, firm or organization who does or causes or authorizes a public performance or a communication to the public of any musical work controlled by MACP. A licence is needed regardless of the manner of use, be it live or recorded and irrespective of whether a charge for admission to a performance is made. In respect of the public performance right, generally, it is the proprietor of premises at which music is performed or the promoter of the performance, who is responsible for ensuring that prior to any performance in public of MACP's work, the appropriate licence is obtained. Some common examples of premises requiring licences include: broadcasting stations, hotels, clubs, restaurants, entertainment outlets, supermarkets, shopping complexes, retail shops, hairdressing salons, dance & aerobic schools, factory premises, online service providers and mobile content providers.
