Purchases of boxed music do not include performance rights. TONO must quality assure all music use in Norwegian productions in order to be able to accurately bill composers and lyricists, and therefore we need 100 percent overview of all music use.
Should we report music to TONO even if we have only used it for a few seconds?
Yes, the length of time the music is used does not affect the composer's right to remuneration for the use.
Why should the production company report to TONO, we have already agreed on music and royalties with the composer?
If you are going to use music in a production, you must first clarify the fees and synchronization fees.
(either with NCB, the composer directly or the person's music publisher). If already recorded music is used, this must also be cleared with the record company that owns the recording. TONO, on the other hand, comes first.
into the picture when the production is actually shown to the public. The company responsible for this must pay TONO and report what kind of music was used.
