Professional and legal use of music
At Backsound, professional and legal use of music is central. That is why we work together with Buma and Sena, the official organisations in the Netherlands that manage the rights of composers, artists and producers. With Backsound you always play music that meets all technical and legal requirements. You arrange the music rights yourself, simply via mijnlicentie.nl.
What do Buma and Sena do?
Buma represents composers and lyricists and makes sure they receive a fee when their music is used. Sena does the same for performing artists and record companies, so that they too are fairly rewarded for their work.
Together, Buma and Sena make sure that all creators in the music chain get what they are entitled to.
What does Backsound arrange and what do you arrange?
Backsound arranges:
- A fully legal music solution
- The software, music computer and updates
- Connection to millions of songs and 20,000+ ready-made playlists
The customer arranges:
- The music rights via mijnlicentie.nl (for both Buma and Sena)
- This is a legal requirement for every business that plays music in public
Why is this necessary?
In the Netherlands, you are required to have a valid Buma and Sena licence if you play music to customers, guests or employees. You can take this out quickly and easily via mijnlicentie.nl. Once this has been arranged, you play music with Backsound 100% legally and without risk.
So choose Backsound!
At Backsound we make it easy for you: we supply the music, technology and service, and you arrange the licence once via mijnlicentie.nl.
Together we make sure that music stays legal, fair and professional.
Frequently asked questions about playing music legally in your business
Is it legal to play music in my business?
Yes, with music that has a business licence, such as Backsound's, and a Buma/Sena licence that you arrange yourself via mijnlicentie.nl.
What exactly are Buma and Sena?
They are rights organisations in the Netherlands that make sure music creators are paid for business use.
Why is personal Spotify not suitable for business use?
Personal Spotify accounts do not have a commercial licence; Backsound does. In addition, you arrange the Buma/Sena licence yourself via mijnlicentie.nl.
Do I need to arrange anything myself with music rights organisations?
Yes. You arrange the Buma/Sena licence for public performance yourself via mijnlicentie.nl; it is not included in your Backsound subscription.
Can I run into legal problems over music rights if I use Backsound?
Not if, in addition to Backsound, you also have the Buma/Sena licence, which you arrange yourself via mijnlicentie.nl. It is not included in the subscription.
