When
music is “attached to” or becomes a part of any production, ie; film,
video, DVD, television program, commercial, multimedia CD-Rom, web site
or audio CD, it requires a license. That license is often referred to
as a “sync” license. “Sync” licenses come in many shapes and sizes
depending on the terms set by each publisher/distributor.
GMP MUSIC offers flexible licensing
options tailored to fit the specific applications
of the many different production types.
The GMP MUSIC Buy Out Synchronization
license gives the licensee the ability to use the
music in their productions for 99 years, without any
additional charges or “ sync” fees. Limitations
on this type of license include: National Network/Cable
Broadcasting, and/or Major Film/Video release. We
have special licensing for those situations.
GMP MUSIC may not be sold as stand alone
music and must be synchronized to picture or voice.
GMP MUSIC may not be broadcast or distributed in film
on any network not affiliated with ASCAP or BMI without
expressed permission or obtaining a “DIRECT
PERFORMANCE LICENSE” from GMP MUSIC.
The Buy Out Synchronization license
applies to music delivered on CD as well as Downloaded
unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.
