What rights are covered by the licenses?
“Performing Right” means, in relation to a musical work, the rights set out in section 40(1)(a)-(d) of the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000 namely the rights of:
- Making available a copy of the work
- Performing, showing or playing a copy of the work in public

How does the licence work?
Royalties are calculated as percentage of Gross Advertising and Video On Demand/Online Player Revenue.
Broadcasters are required to submit on a monthly basis to IMRO information on all musical works broadcast on the service.
An MCPS TV Blanket Licence is required in conjunction with this licence.
