What is a BMI music performance license?
A BMI music performance license grants businesses the right to publicly perform BMI affiliated music. With one agreement, BMI provides unlimited access to more than 6.5 million musical works by more than 475,000 BMI-affiliated songwriters, composers, and music publishers. A web site that publicly performs music can save time and money by signing an agreement with BMI, rather than negotiating individual agreements with each writer and/or music publisher whose music they wish to use. BMI offers flexible licensing options for web sites that take into consideration the diverse and evolving nature of business models on the Internet. On behalf of our affiliated songwriters, composers, and music publishers, BMI licenses all types of business, including web sites, to publicly perform the more than 6.5 million works in the BMI repertoire.
