What does Fully Licensed music, all rights included actually mean?
MoosBox music is Fully Licensed under a direct licence: it is not “music without rights”, but music that can be used in commercial spaces under the contractual terms of the service.
The musical content provided by MoosBox is selected, documented and made available through direct licensing. This allows customers to use the service easily, with a single point of contact and documentation available in case of inspections or requests for clarification.
This also applies to AI-assisted music content produced by MoosBox AI Studio, which is subject to human supervision, editorial checks and traceable documentation before being made available on the platform.
For content provided by the MoosBox platform and used through an active service, the direct licence is included in the subscription fee under the applicable contractual terms.
The challenge
Beyond Royalty Free-music
The term Royalty Free is not always precise, because it may be interpreted in different ways. In the case of MoosBox, it is more accurate to speak of Fully Licensed music under a direct licence: musical content that is not free from rights, but covered by a usage licence designed for commercial spaces and supported by traceable documentation.
Our Solution
Fully Licensed: all rights included music
The Fully Licensed music used by MoosBox is made available through direct licences and traceable documentation. In this context, a direct licence means a licence granted to the end customer on the basis of a documented and verifiable authorisation chain through authorised third parties entitled to grant the rights necessary for the use of the musical content provided by the platform.
This also includes AI-assisted music content produced by MoosBox AI Studio, which is managed through human supervision, editorial checks, internal documentation and traceability systems before being made available for commercial use through the platform.
Unlike traditional/mainstream catalogue music, content provided by MoosBox is designed for use in commercial spaces through the active service, under the applicable contractual terms.
Once the subscription is active, MoosBox music can be used in the commercial spaces indicated by the customer, within the limits and according to the methods provided by the service.

Traditional catalogues
So what is the other music?
As far as traditional catalogues are concerned, every time a public venue wishes to broadcast a piece of music, it has to obtain licences from the collecting societies, which collect revenues from authors, phonographic producers and performing artists, and then redistribute them to relevant parties in the form of royalties.
Bear in mind that if you choose music from a traditional catalogue, in addition to paying the licence fee to the supplier, you will have to contact the various collecting societies to draw up contracts.
Non-copyright music is only music where the composer has been dead for more than 70 years.
Is it worth all that hassle just to have very popular music?
Make your life easy
Remember, in order to use music for commercial purposes you are legally obliged to pay royalties to Artists and Record Companies.
