Reproduction licence for a venue
The consumer’s free right to copy music is limited to purely private use, so a reproduction licence is always required for using recorded music as background music. Music purchased from music stores intended for private use cannot be played in public spaces without a reproduction licence. Recording licences for copying music for public performance can be obtained from Musiikkiluvat Oy.

The reproduction licences for audio and audiovisual productions (films, commercials, TV shows, etc.) are granted by NCB and Gramex (audiovisual only).
