Digital music services account for around 25% of the recorded music market – and that figure is increasing each year. Services may be specialised in one music genre or offer millions of tracks for sale in both single song and bundled formats.
There are two rights involved in the process of making and supplying digital downloads:
- the reproduction of works; and
- the communication to the public of those works.
Both these rights may be exercised multiple times. Digital service providers require licences from both the owner of the sound recording (generally through deals with record labels) and the owner/exclusive licensee of the music (generally APRA|AMCOS).
