What happens if I have been using SiBee Records music without a license? Do charges apply for prior years use?
If you have been using SiBee music music without a license, you may be liable to make a payment to cover the years you have been using music without a license (up to 6 years based on the Limitation Act). If a business who has been using SiBee music voluntarily contacts us to arrange a license or, when we contact the business using our music for the first time to arrange a license and the music user agrees to take out our license we normally only ask for one year of prior year charges from the time we first contacted the organisation. Where a music user has refused to obtain a license and continues to use our music and we have to take further steps to protect our rights, we will pursue payment of royalties to cover all years that music has been used (up to 6 years).
