Internet Music & Mobile Entertainment

basic Royalty policies are complicated. Choose between two versions of this page.

BMI licenses many Internet sites and mobile entertainment providers. As these business models are changing as rapidly as the technology, our methodology for the distribution of fees we collect from these evolving sources is likely to change over time. Moreover, many of these services, unlike radio and TV, are not accustomed to supplying music-use data, so currently we don’t get as much detail on the performances of your music as we do in other areas. We’ll continue to refine our methodology as this source of royalties continues to evolve.
