Rockbot believes artists and songwriters deserve fair compensation for their creations that we all enjoy hearing at our favorite businesses’ locations, in compliance with copyright law. When businesses use music in physical locations, copyright license royalties must be paid to the owners of the music performed; failing to properly license music for such use can expose a business to substantial financial risk and legal liability. This page provides general guidance on music licensing solely with respect to Rockbot. Music copyright is a highly complex area of entertainment law, and you should direct any specific questions about your own business’s use of music to a knowledgeable attorney or music rights consultant. In the United States, Rockbot covers your licensing needs for your business’s public performances of music streamed through Rockbot Music in compliance with the Subscriber Terms of Service to your premises located within the U.S., its territories, military bases, and possessions. Rockbot also provides license coverage for our customers’ use of Rockbot Music in Canada, Mexico, and New Zealand.

Rockbot Music’s license coverage alone does not give a business establishment the right to use music in any way other than Rockbot Music itself, including DJs, live musicians and bands, karaoke, or any other use outside the scope of Rockbot’s Subscriber Terms of Service. Rockbot Music’s music licensing also does not cover any other non-Rockbot music sources such as radios, televisions, or personal devices. Performing music at a business location in these ways may subject the business to copyright infringement liability unless additional direct licenses are obtained from the necessary copyright owners. Please see the Rockbot Support Licensing FAQ page for more information, feel free to contact support@rockbot.com with any further questions about Rockbot, and please contact a knowledgeable attorney or music rights consultant with any questions about your own business’s use of music.
