Licensing

Types of Licenses


  1. A synchronization license is needed to synchronize music with a video image. This license is also called a "sync license". You would need to secure a sync license to use a Monster Vision copyright in Film, TV, Commercials, Video/DVD, Videogames, Trailers/Promos, etc.

  2. A mechanical license is needed if you want to record and distribute a Monster Vision copyright on either a physical album (CD, cassette, vinyl, etc.) or via digital delivery.

  3. A live stage production license is needed if you would like to use a Monster Vision copyright in a live stage production.

  4. A derivative work license is needed for Samples, Translations, Parodies, and all other proposed Derivative Works using Monster Vision copyrights. A derivative work license will only be issued after Monster Vision receives and reviews audio of the proposed derivative work. In other words, you need permission from us in order to create a derivative work.

  5. A master use license is required, in addition to the license from Monster Vision,  if you wish to use an original/master recording of a song. The owner of such recording is usually the record label.  We will be pleased to work with prospective licensees of Monster Vision compositions to help arrange for master use licenses.
