We know what you’re up to! You’re trying to create the perfect atmosphere for your store/restaurant/business, but you don’t want to spend a fortune on licenses for famous music, right?
Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music, YouTube: who doesn’t know them? They are the giants of music streaming that accompany us in our daily lives. But are they the right choice to set the mood for your business?
Nothing is as it seems: the broadcasting of music in a commercial establishment is regulated by specific regulations that prohibit the use of streaming services for personal use. Yes, we’re talking about Spotify & co., which are not suitable for this purpose! Spotify itself specifies this in its terms and conditions and has a dedicated FAQ on the matter.
Why? Simple! The licenses for music usage in a commercial setting are different from those for private use. Ignoring this aspect can expose you to unpleasant penalties, such as hefty fines and suspension of activity.

Why is broadcasting music with Spotify in a commercial establishment illegal?
Broadcasting music in a commercial establishment with Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music, YouTube, or other personal streaming services is illegal because it constitutes a copyright violation, due to the following reasons:
- The licenses for music usage in a commercial setting are different from those for private use.
- Personal use streaming services like Spotify are not authorized for broadcasting music in commercial establishments.
- Using these services for this purpose violates the copyright of artists and music rights holders, even if you have broadcasting licenses and related rights.
In practice, Spotify is a great ally for personal music streaming, but when it comes to using music in a commercial environment, things get complicated. As we have demonstrated, broadcasting music in a commercial establishment with Spotify or other personal streaming services is illegal and can lead to severe penalties. That is why using a reliable Music Provider like MoosBox – which provides specific licenses for commercial use and ensures maximum security and peace of mind – is the solution.
