What are synchronization rights & what do I need them for?

Synchronization rights, also known as “sync rights,” are part of copyright law. This right must be licensed by the rights holder to combine music with visual media such as movies, TV shows, commercials, or social media content.

Only properly licensed law gives the licensee permission to use a piece of music legally and without infringing copyrights in connection with visual content.

Why are sync rights so important?

With the boom of platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, more and more people are using music in their videos and other posts. In a digital and increasingly connected world, acquiring synchronization rights is essential in order to integrate music correctly and avoid potential legal problems.

Legal Security

The unlawful use of music can result in warnings, claims for damages and injunctive actions. The costs incurred can quickly reach a multiple of a timely, proper acquisition of rights.

Predictability

Secure income from advertising and sponsorship over the long term and plan costs effectively.

Professionalism

Licensing demonstrates professionalism and a sense of responsibility. This strengthens the trust of partners and customers and improves your brand image.

How can I license song rights and what are the costs?
