Playing music in a venue is a public performance — and that normally costs collecting-society fees. With royalty-free music that cost disappears, provided you can show the repertoire you play is not administered by the society.

The presumption rule

In Germany the “GEMA presumption” means that whoever plays music publicly must, if in doubt, prove it is not subject to society fees. A general statement is often not enough — a traceable work list is what counts.

What the repertoire certificate does

The in-store subscription includes a monthly certificate: it names you as the licensee, the paired devices and every track actually played that month, with a check code. That is the document you present during an inspection.

Runs on what you already have

No vendor box needed: the stream runs in a browser, on a tablet, the till PC or a cheap Fire tablet. One device = one seat; you book the plan by the number of devices.
