WHEN DO I NEED A LICENSE?
You need a license if you are planning on using an original piece of music from our catalogue, as background for a secondary medium, such as film, television, internet/podcasting, gaming, or other format of marketing or advertising, corporate or otherwise.Otherwise, no license is needed, if you only plan to download and enjoy the music as the listener/end-user.

IS THIS ROYALTY-FREE MUSIC?
No, the music found at Day For Night is not royalty-free. It is bespoke music and original composition made by musical fine artists whose means of support and compensation is provided through royalties and fees from licensing.

WHAT KIND OF MEDIA DISTRIBUTION REQUIRES A MUSIC LICENSE?
This license involves recorded music used to accompany any form of broadcast or distribution that is intended for other users; ie, anything other than for personal use. This includes, but is not limited to the following:

DO PODCASTS REQUIRE A MUSIC LICENSE?
ARE PODCASTS TREATED THE SAME AS MP3 DOWNLOADS?
Licensing of music for Podcasts are treated as though part-download (due to the MP3 format used) and part-broadcast (due to the syndicated RSS publication feed which syndicates via podcatching applications like iTunes).

Day For Night makes specialty licensing rates available, which are advantageous to the individual podcaster, and which are nominally only a little more than the price of a personal MP3 download, but cost less than radio distribution. The podcast license is both a legally-binding bridge between the content creator and the podcast producer. Distributing 3rd-party digital downloads of any copyright-controlled music, where the copyright holder is not the self, is otherwise illegal.

DO I ALWAYS NEED TO CONTACT A MUSIC SUPERVISOR BEFORE OBTAINING A LICENSE?
Not necessarily; however, a pair of synchronization documents will need to be produced upon request before manufacturing and distributing any music licensed from us. You will more than likely require a Master-Use confirmation and/or a Synchronization/Theatrical Performance Use Confirmation form, if the licensed music is for distribution (such as on DVD).

Please contact Day For Night directly with any such requests at this link, and we will be very happy to help you get started!
