As indicated by another Nielsen report, 83% of businesses organizations are streaming music at their business location using a non commercial licensed personal music service breaking the law.
Nielsen Music surveyed 5,000 small business around the world and found that up to 71 % streamed music with a personal account from services like Spotify, Youtube, Pandora, Itunes. According to the study many of them not knowing that a licensed business music service is required by federal law in most countries.
The study also revealed that , only 17 percent of small businesses owners have obtained licenses or a licensed music service, while 83 percent illicitly use a personal music service. Additionally the report finding show that the majority of business owners incorrectly believe that a personal music account is allowed and can be used for background music in a commercial space or business settings.
Well this is just not true and claiming ignorance is no excuse to break the law and could cost your business thousands of dollars in penalty fees.
In the United States alone, 71 percent of the business surveyed were unaware of the music licensing requirement that is mandated by federal law, with many business owners believing it was OK to play background music from their personal streaming accounts.
Nielsen Music gauges in excess of 29 million business stream music daily and yet only 17 percent utilize a commercial background music supplier like StoreStreams that provides a commercial licensed streaming music service for business.
The Nielsen Music survey conducted was the largest-ever global study on background music roughly interviewing 5,000 businesses in seven countries. Those countries included the U.S., U.K., Sweden, Spain, Italy, France and Germany. The study also excluded large brands like McDonald’s, and calculated that 21.3 million of the world’s 29.4 million businesses use an illegal consumer music service at their business.
From those breaking the law, an average of $8.33 a month is lost in royalty payments from every business using a personal music subscription, and an average of $11.96 a month is lost from every business using a free personal music service, meaning that the rights-holders of music musicians, songwriters, labels, composers, producers and others are missing out on more than $100 million a month.
