Karaoke
The Karaoke scheme has been developed by OneMusic Australia for music used in dedicated Karaoke venues.
This Rate Setting Guide describes how OneMusic Australia sets the rates under the Karaoke Scheme. For more information about how OneMusic Australia fixes rates and determines rate structures more generally, please see the Rate Setting Guide - General Background available HERE.
This scheme provides coverage for the use of OneMusic Australia’s music in these licensing categories:
- Music for Karaoke Venues
- Website Use
- Digital Copy/Delivery
- Telephone on Hold
1. Music for Karaoke Venues
Music for Karaoke Venues includes music used for guests to enjoy Karaoke in Karaoke Rooms as well as background music throughout a whole dedicated Karaoke venue.
Music for Karaoke Venues is offered as a Joint Rights Licence (covering both PPCA Sound Recordings and APRA Works and AMCOS Works) or a Single Rights Licence (covering either PPCA Sound Recordings or APRA Works and AMCOS Works).
Rate Structure:
The rate structure for the Music for Karaoke Venues licensing category is a flat fee, with the rate depending on:
- Joint Rights Licence or Single Rights Licence;
- the Karaoke Area Capacity (persons); and
- the total number of days the Karaoke Venue is open per year.
The Karaoke Area Capacity means the maximum capacity of all Karaoke Rooms at the Location.
Rate:
