CONNECT Music Licensing

CONNECT Music Licensing is an agency that provides licences on behalf of the copyright owners (usually the record companies) for the purpose of DUPLICATING audio and video recordings in Canada.

If a DJ has copied music (on to a computer hard drive, USB flash drive, CD-Rs, cassettes or mini-discs) or purchased music from iTunes to their computer, they are required — by law — to have that computer licensed by CONNECT Music Licensing.

Examples of CONNECT Music Licensing approved source content includes:

• Store bought CDs
• iTunes downloads (in conjunction with a CONNECT Music Licensing licence)
• CONNECT Music Licensing licensed Music Supply Service & Video Pool content providers such as Multi Music (ERG), Promo Only, etc.

All Professional Members of the CPDJA have access to purchasing discounted CONNECT Music Licensing licenses for just $125 + tax (regular price is $331.55 + tax). Professional Members can purchase these licenses online through the Members Area of this website.
