ISRC is the recording's identification number and stands for International Standard Recording Code. Each individual recording of a musical work must be assigned a unique ISRC, and the code is used to identify the master rights to a recorded song, i.e. the rights that Gramo manages. Gramo can issue ISRC codes for your recordings. You can read more about this on the Gramo website: https://hjelp.gramo.no/nb/articles/3641720-alt-om-isrc […]
Yes, TONO has special rules for copyright for personal yoik in TONO's administration. Copyright protects everyone who creates musical works and other intellectual works, and is the basis for TONO's activities. The right is enshrined in law in Norway through the Copyright Act, but is also protected through a number of international agreements, conventions and regulations. Whoever creates an intellectual work owns it fully and completely. […]
No. TONO has agreements with both Facebook and YouTube that cover this use. It is important to note that this applies to individuals and not organizations, companies, choirs, bands, etc. TONO's agreements with Facebook and YouTube cover performance and synchronization licenses and, as previously mentioned, only apply to individuals.
Geo-blocking allows you to limit a video production for viewing in certain territories, such as the Nordic region. By limiting a production for viewing to only the Nordic territory, it will make the licensing process easier and in many cases also cheaper for the producer. In this context, we would like to point out that TONO may grant permission to […]
Private groups on Facebook, even if they are closed, are by definition online use. That is, just like any other type of use on the Internet. In this type of production, recording rights must be cleared with the record company, while synchronization and performance rights are cleared with TONO's Online Media department.
This is most likely due to Facebook / YouTube finding an unlicensed production, meaning that the recording has not been cleared with the owner of the recording used (record label/artist) or TONO. It is therefore important to remember to always clear recording rights with the owner and TONO prior to publishing on Facebook / YouTube.
When streaming a concert live, a synchronization license from TONO is not required. When streaming a concert simultaneously and unchanged (with no subsequent availability), neither a temporary nor permanent copy of the production is created, therefore there will be no synchronization license associated with such a type of license. […]
A corporate presentation for external viewing is by definition advertising. You as the author, or your music publisher, must negotiate a synchronization license with the company yourself. TONO issues a license for the performance rights. We would like to point out that if recorded music is used in such productions, the recording rights must be cleared by the owners. See recording rights for more information.
NCB licenses TV productions, TV dramas (broadcast in the Nordic countries), documentaries without theatrical distribution and short films without theatrical distribution made by professional audiovisual producers. NCB also licenses DVDs, CDs, LPs and other productions that are released in physical format.
For such productions, TONO licenses both synchronization and performance. We would like to point out that if recorded music is used in such productions, the recording rights must be cleared by the owners. See recording rights for more information. It is important to note that if the video installation is only to be used in the museum (i.e. not published on the Internet), […]
