How do I obtain permission to make a DVD or VHS copy of a non-commercial performance that includes a DG Music piece?
If you want to make copies of a DVD or VHS audio/video recording of a DG Music piece (for non-commercial use), you will need to obtain a Non-commercial Videogram Synchronization License. The DG Music piece can be an actual “on-screen” performance by an artist or group, or an “off-screen” performance by studio musicians, to serve as background or source music. The pertinent fees are $.15 per copy, per song for VHS format and $.25 per copy, per song for DVD format. There is also an additional $15 processing fee for each license granted. PLEASE NOTE: If the original CD recording is used, please contact DG Music first to obtain a Master Use License. Use of a recorded master does require payment of an additional fee based on the type of use.
