Licence scope
The AVP and DVD1 Licences cover the payment of mechanical and synchronisation rights only.
Royalties are paid to music publishers for the use of musical works.
Sound recording rights must be licensed directly from record companies (where applicable).
If your product uses MCPS production music, you also have the option to license any MCPS production music via the MCPS Ireland production music rate card.
The following content can be licensed under the AVP Licence without the copyright holder approving the context in which their music is used:
• artist related visuals
• pre-cleared or licensed material (e.g. TV programmes that have already been broadcast
• sports footage
• children’s programming
• fitness videos
NB: Any other footage not previously broadcast would require prior approval before a licence can be granted.
