Do not publish statements such as 'all music is licensed' or name IPRS/PPL/labels as licensed partners until signed agreements and covered rights are verified.
1. Music has multiple rights
A recorded song can involve separate rights in the sound recording (master) and in the underlying composition and lyrics, together with public performance, communication, synchronization or other rights depending on the feature and use.
2. Rights vary by use
The permissions needed for private listening, interactive features, public broadcasts, creator shows, podcasts, clips and user uploads can differ. Territory, catalog, platform, duration and business model can also affect availability.
3. DVANY availability
DVANY will make music available only where the service has the rights, permissions, licenses or other lawful basis necessary for the relevant use. A track being available elsewhere does not mean DVANY has the same rights.
4. User uploads
Users are responsible for obtaining the rights required for material they upload or transmit. Rights-holder complaints may result in restrictions or removal.
5. Licensing organizations
DVANY should name specific collecting societies, labels, publishers or licensing partners only after a current agreement has been verified. This page therefore does not claim that a particular license has been obtained.
