LICENSING

A valid license with MFP grants you the right to both the recording (master) and the composition (musical copyright) more commonly referred to as the synchronization right. Synchronization is the right to affix music with visual images or other audio signals and to mechanically reproduce the copyrighted music in soundtracks and copies of soundtracks.

Payment for a synchronization license need be made only once. However, additional synchronization licensing becomes necessary if the original production is changed, revised or dubbed in foreign languages.
