🎶 Restaurants must ensure their music streaming service and sound system are compatible and reliable, without connectivity issues or playback errors. Public performance licenses are essential when playing music publicly, as copyright infringement fines can vary from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars per violation. The licenses, typically issued by PROs like ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR in the US, protect artists and avoid legal action against the business. Multiple licenses may be needed for different songwriters or additional uses like music videos.
