General Licensing Venues

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

BMI pays royalties from license fees collected from Aircraft, Sports Leagues and Theme Parks. We create separate databases of performance information for each of these categories. Since the number of performed musical works — as well as the license fees collected — changes each quarter, the royalty rate also changes each quarter for these categories.
