Digital Music Licensing

Digital Music Licensing is the process of licensing the use of copyrighted music in a digital format. It is intended to ensure that the copyright owners on musical works are compensated for certain uses of their work.
CAPASSO’s digital licences cater for all current and future forms of service types such as downloads, ringback tones, streaming, video on-demand and online radio.
Its partnership with the South African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO), accompanied by its established BIEM and CISAC membership, truly make it a convenient and efficient hub for digital licensing across the African continent.
