Jukebox Music License Coverage

All music available on TouchTunes is fully licensed with the applicable record labels and music publishers and performing rights organizations (PROs), including ASCAP, GMR, SESAC and BMI in the United States, PRS and PPL in the UK and CMRAA, CONNECT, SOCAN and SOPRAQ in Canada.

There are limited exceptions in the United States where venues must obtain a direct commercial license with the PROs to “publicly” perform music, regardless of the source of the music.  These include venues that charge admission to enter (including cover charges) and venues that use music directly in accompaniment with another paid service, such as adult dancing, karaoke or “disco bowling” nights.

Separately, our PRO licenses do not cover music that is played from a source other than our jukebox. The most frequent examples include venues that allow live performances (including DJs) and when staff plugs in their phone to play music from their personal Spotify or Apple Music account. Remember, even if the music is acquired legally, playing music in a business establishment requires a proper license with each PRO.
