Recordings of concerts or other music-related events for use on the internet

If you want to record a concert or any other music-related event and make the recording available online either for a fee or for free, you must obtain a separate permit. The license fee rate depends, among other things, on whether listening and viewing of the recording is free for those interested, and on how long the recording remains available for listening and viewing by the public on the web.
