🔍 Analysis: Why Choose Direct Licensing?

#### 1. The "Double-Payment" Trap
Globally, rights management societies publish mandatory annual tariffs based on business size.

  • Tariff Fees: For 150 m², these mandatory fees represent a significant fixed annual cost.

  • Subscription Fees: You also pay a monthly fee for commercial software to stream the music. These apps only provide the player—they do not grant you the legal public performance rights themselves.
  • #### 2. The FonMusic Edge: Tariff Independence
    FonMusic changes the game because all works in our catalog are directly owned by FonMusic.

  • Independent from Rights Societies: Since we own the rights, you are not required to pay any external organizations or collection societies for our music.

  • One Flat Rate: No square meter calculations or surprise hikes. One simple subscription covers both the music player and the legal licensing.
  • Conclusion: Save Over 90%


    Businesses without FonMusic pay a fortune in overlapping fees and tariffs. FonMusic provides world-class quality and official certification in one single, affordable subscription.
