Playing music for a paying audience is considered a public performance of that music, which benefits your business. U.S. copyright law requires that restaurant owners pay for public performance licenses (PPL) from performing rights organizations (PROs) that control rights to a particular song.
Whether a song is performed in a public or private club, it is still considered a public performance of the work under U.S. copyright law, and is subject to copyright control and licensing. A common misconception is that clubs where only live music is performed do not need to obtain public performance licenses.
Generally, businesses including restaurants need licenses from labels, publishers, and performing rights organizations (PROs) to play music in their establishment.
If a restaurant hosts live performances, such as bands or DJs who play copyrighted music including covers, the restaurant owner will need a separate or additional license for live music from the PROs. Restaurants and bars are liable if musicians play a cover song that you have not paid a live music license to use.
