Are you looking to use a musical work but are concerned about copyright issues? This article will explain what music licensing and music copyright licensing are, why you need a license, and in which cases permission is required. BH Media provides a comprehensive guide to the music licensing process, legal procedures, and important considerations so you can legally use music, avoid legal risks, and respect the rights of creators.
Music copyright licensing is the process by which the copyright holder or related rights owner grants permission to an individual or organization to exploit and use a musical work within agreed-upon conditions and scope. This permission does not imply a transfer of ownership but instead allows limited use to ensure the legal interests of both parties are protected.
Licensing plays an essential role in:
For this reason, before using any musical product for commercial purposes such as advertising, performance, distribution, or communication, obtaining the appropriate license is often a necessary legal requirement—and a sign of respect for the author’s creative work.
Option 1: Contact the author or copyright owner directly to request usage permission and negotiate a fee. However, if you need to use multiple works at once, reaching out to each rights holder individually can be time-consuming and complicated.
Option 2: A faster and more effective solution is to work with BH Media—a professional copyright agency managing hundreds of thousands of domestic and international works. As a rights representative, BH Media is authorized to issue usage licenses for the works under its management.
Rather than negotiating separately with each author or copyright holder, you can simply work with BH Media to sign a contract and pay the licensing fee. BH Media will handle all the necessary legal procedures to ensure that your music usage is legal, transparent, and copyright-compliant—saving you time and minimizing risk.
According to Article 25 of Vietnam’s Intellectual Property Law, some cases allow use without a license, but you must still credit the author and source:
Note: Always verify eligibility before use to avoid unintended infringement.
This method suits singers, producers, and media companies wishing to fully or partially own rights to a song.
The licensing fee through BH Media is determined based on the specific work, intended use (e.g., performance, digital release, ads, TV shows), and exploitation scope.
After receiving complete information from the user, BH Media will assess and provide a detailed quotation. This forms the basis for signing a licensing contract to protect the rights of both the copyright holder and the user in a transparent, legal manner.
