Licensing
As a licensed Collective Management Organisation (CMO), KAMP represents the rights of phonogram producers and performers of sound recordings, who hold rights related to copyright. KAMP operates in contexts where sounds are fixed into recording media, facilitating their transmission to the public, whether through broadcasting, public performance, or other forms of communication.
WHO NEEDS A MUSIC LICENCE
Music Users who play music while doing business need to pay a license fee. That means anything that is not for domestic use.
Any venue or business that plays background music, recorded music, or broadcasted music in public must get a music usage license from KAMP Copyright and Related Rights. This includes businesses and people such as the following: Radio, Pubs, Shopping malls, Cinemas, barber shops, Car washes, Trains, mobile phone shops, Concerts Exhibitions, electronic stores, clubs, clothing stores, Television and radio broadcasters, Nightclubs, Restaurants, Retail stores, salons, hospitals, DJs, Matatus, events, and any public show that makes use of recorded music
FEES
Royalties gathered through license fees are passed on to KAMP Copyright and Related Rights members. Many people play a role in the creation of every piece of music, from producers, songwriters, and composers to recording artists and music publishers – they all play a role in creating the final musical product.
The information we collect about the usage and value of every musical work assists us in fairly calculating the royalties that are passed on to the different players.
