Frequently asked questions about licences

I want to use music in my podcast. Do I need a licence from Gramex?

For using music in podcasts, you need a licence directly from the rightsholders (such as a record label). Gramex does not sell licences for using phonograms on podcasts.

I want to set up a radio that uses music. What licences do I need?

To use music, you need a licence from both Gramex and Teosto. The type of licence you need depends on whether you broadcast using FM frequencies, online or both. The duration of radio operations and its type also affect what licence is required. All Gramex radio licences are available on the ‘Buy licence’ page.

I want to use music in my AV productions. Where do I get the music?

You may get the music from, for instance, a physical recording or download it from a store, but you are not allowed to source it from services such as YouTube or SoundCloud.

I’d like to play music from Spotify or YouTube at my customer facilities. Do I need a licence from Gramex?

You can get a licence for playing background music in your customer facilities from musiikkiluvat.fi. Music played in the customer facilities must be from a legal source. Spotify and YouTube are not legal sources, as they are intended only for personal use as stated in their terms of use.

I want to play music at my event. Where can I get the music?

You can get the music from any legal source, such as physical recordings or streaming services. Please note that if your event is not a private occasion but for an audience, you need to obtain music licences here.

When I obtain a licence from Gramex, am I required to report my music use to Gramex?

In principle, reporting the use of music is always required to enable accurate distribution of remunerations. The reporting requirement is, however, determined by the type of licence you have obtained. So please review the agreement terms of your licence. You can find the agreement terms under the ”About the licence” link in each licence card.

I obtained a licence from the Gramex online store. How long is the licence valid?

The validity of the licence is stated on the agreement confirmation you have received.
