Why do I need an IMRO Dual Music Licence if I already pay my TV licence?

Written by Press Officer on .

A TV licence is a fee paid to the government that helps fund public service broadcasting in Ireland. However, it does not grant permission to publicly perform copyright music that is broadcast through your TV.

If you use a TV in your business or public space where others can hear it, you need an IMRO Dual Music Licence to legally cover the public performance of the music contained within those broadcasts. This licence ensures that the creators of the music are properly compensated for the use of their work.
