Because we play music

Anyone who uses, reproduces, or performs music outside the private sphere needs a licence. This applies, for example, to concert organisers and businesses that play music in the background or in sports classes.
 

Behind every song is a store of intensive creative work which is protected by copyright. In issuing its licences, SUISA intermediates between music users and music creators, making sure the latter receive fair remuneration for their music.
