| Music Copyright Clearance Policy: for all students and faculty
All students and faculty must follow this policy To include copyrighted music as part of your piece, you will need the permission of both the music publisher and the record label. They will provide you with pricing information. A music publisher owns the song (that is the words and music) and a record company owns the sound recording (that is, what you hear, the artist singing, the musicians playing, the entire production). As the producer you are responsible for obtaining all necessary releases and meeting all legal requirements. UCLA does not have a blanket license for Grand Rights and Performance Rights. In order to obtain Copyright Clearance to use a recorded musical selection for a performance you generally need to get permission from two separate sources: 1.) The publisher of the composition grants Grand Rights or Grand Performing Rights 2.) The record label (the company that owns the rights for the use of the specific recording that you wish to use). Usually listed on the record, cassette, or CD you wish to use, you will find the recording serial number and the name of the publisher of the specific composition you are interested in. You should also see the name ASCAP, BMI or SESAC. These are the main performing rights organizations in the U.S. These organizations do not grant Grand Rights but can help you find the copyright owner.
The album that it's on. The name of your piece of choreography. The date of your proposed concert. Where the concert will take place and size of seating. How much the tickets are. Where is the money going. Is anyone associated with the concert getting paid? (i.e. choreographer, dancers, staff, etc.) Any recording of the concert (i.e. audio, video) and for what purposes.
For other assistance with locating publishers you can also try the Music Publishers Association at http://www.mpa.org. The name and address of the record company should appear on the record label.

(i) performance of an entire "dramatico-musical work." For example a performance of the musical play Oklahoma would be a dramatic performance. (ii) performance of one or more musical compositions from a "dramatico-musical work" accompanied by dialogue, pantomime, dance, stage action, or visual representation of the work from which the music is taken. For example a performance of "People Will Say We're In Love" from Oklahoma with costumes, sets or props or dialogue from the show would be dramatic. (iii) performance of one or more musical compositions as part of a story or plot, whether accompanied or unaccompanied by dialogue, pantomime, dance, stage action or visual representation. For example, incorporating a performance of "If I Loved You" into a story or plot would be a dramatic performance of the song. (iv) performance of a concert version of a "dramatico-musical work." For example, a performance of all the songs in Oklahoma even without costumes or sets would be a dramatic performances. The term "dramatico-musical work" includes, but is not limited to, a musical comedy, oratorio, choral work, opera, play with music, revue or ballet. ASCAP has the right to license "non-dramatic" public performances of its members' works - for example, recordings broadcast on radio, songs or background music performed as part of a movie or other television program, or live or recorded performances in a bar or restaurant. Dramatic and grand rights are licensed by the composer or the publisher of the work. Music Publisher A music publisher works with songwriters to market and promote songs, resulting in exposure of songs to the public and generating income. Music publishers "pitch" songs to record labels, movie and television producers and others who use music, then license the right to use the song and collect fees for the usage. Those fees are then split with the songwriter. Per Program License A "per program" license is similar to the blanket license in that it authorizes a radio or television broadcaster to use all the works in the ASCAP repertory. However, the license is designed to cover use of ASCAP music in a specific radio or television programs, requiring that the user keep track of all music used. Also, the user must be certain to obtain rights for all the music used in programs not covered by the license. Public Performance or Performance Rights A public performance is one that occurs "in a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered." A public performance also occurs when the performance is transmitted by means of any device or process (for example, via broadcast, telephone wire, or other means) to the public. In order to perform a copyrighted work publicly, the user must obtain performance rights from the copyright owner or his representative. Record Label A record label (or record company) makes, distributes and markets sound recordings (CD's, tapes, etc.) Record labels obtain from music publishers the right to record and distribute songs and in turn pay license fees for the recordings. Retransmission A transmission of a performance is one that is sent by any device or process (for example, radio, TV, cable, satellite, telephone) and received in a different place. A retransmission is a further transmission of that performance to yet another place. Sound Recording A sound recording refers to the copyright in a recording as distinguished from the copyright in a song. The copyright in the song encompasses the words and music and is owned by the songwriter or music publisher. The sound recording is the result of recording music, words or other sounds onto a tape, record, CD, etc. The copyright encompasses what you hear: the artist singing, the musicians playing, the entire production). The sound recording copyright is owned by the record label. The copyright in the musical work itself is owned by the music publisher, which grants the record label a "mechanical" license to record and distribute the song as part of the record. Synchronization or "Synch" Rights A synchronization or "synch" right involves the use of a recording of musical work in audio-visual form: for example as part of a motion picture, television program, commercial announcement, music video or other videotape. Often, the music is "synchronized" or recorded in timed relation with the visual images. Synchronization rights are licensed by the music publisher to the producer of the movie or program.
