ASCAP and the International Municipal Lawyers Association are pleased to announce a new and economical way for local governments to ensure they are in compliance with copyright laws regarding the use of music!
On behalf of its members and all local governments in the United States, IMLA joined in negotiations with ASCAP to provide a simple, comprehensive and cost-effective way for local governments to receive a license to use music.
Have you ever thought about the number of things your government uses music for? How about festivals, concerts, arts & craft fairs, parades, First Night and New Year's Celebrations, fireworks, carnivals, music-on-hold, swimming pools, community center dances, aerobics classes, ... and the list goes on and on. Until now most communities had to negotiate licenses for each event or use. Now ASCAP offers a simple license agreement that will provide coverage for almost all non-dramatic performances presented on both government owned property and at functions and events hosted by the government.
