Music plays a key role in creating the right ambience for your business, but it is important to know that under federal copyright law, when copyrighted music is performed in any establishment, permission must be granted from the copyright owner.

The guides and resources below will help get you started on compliance with music licensing in restaurants.

Legal Advice

The CRA provides free, limited legal advice through our Legal Resource Center.
