Internet

The use of recorded music on the Internet is also subject to the consent of the music producers. SIMIM is currently intervening in the granting of user licenses by the music producers in the following practices:

• webcasting/streaming
• podcasting for radio and non-radio stations
• background music on websites

Webcasting / Streaming
