Unlicensed music could expose your business to million-dollar lawsuits
If you are using platforms like Spotify, YouTube, or Apple Music to play music in your commercial spaces, you could face costly fines and numerous legal conflicts.
Why can't I use any platform to play music in my business?
If you manage restaurants, hotels, or retail stores, you probably use background music to enhance the customer experience. A great musical atmosphere boosts revenue and motivates your employees. You likely already know that.
What you might not know is that platforms like Spotify, YouTube, or Apple Music can only be used personally and privately, not for commercial purposes. It's not the same to listen to any song on Spotify at home or in your car, alone or with family and friends, as it is to play music in a commercial space with a large audience.
Remember that when you subscribed to these platforms, you agreed not to use this music for commercial spaces. This is clearly stated in their terms and conditions: 'The service is for personal and non-commercial use only.'
