SESAC, founded in 1930, is the second oldest Performing Rights
Organization (PRO) in the United States. As a PRO, SESAC
facilitates the process of bringing together the creators of
music to those who wish to use copyrighted music in their
establishments.
Under Copyright Law of the United States, anyone who plays
copyrighted music in an establishment is required to obtain
advanced permission from the copyright owner or their
representative. Simply, a copyrighted song is property and no one
else can use this property in a public performance without the
permission of the owner.
SESAC offers a blanket license that authorizes you to play all of
the music in our repertory as often as you want in your
establishment. There is no need to locate, contact and obtain
permission directly from each of our affiliates.
The SESAC license has been designed to be easy to complete and
understand.
