Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about music rights and licensing.

Do I have to pay KODA if I use WeWaive?

No. When you use WeWaive music through our platform, you do not need to pay an extra KODA license for the music from WeWaive. Our music is created and made available for commercial use in businesses.

What is KODA, and why do businesses normally pay for it?

KODA is a Danish rights organization that manages payments to songwriters, composers, and music publishers when copyrighted music is played publicly or commercially.
If a business plays music from platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, or regular radio services in a shop, cafe, restaurant, or similar location, the business may normally need a music license.

How much does KODA cost for my shop, cafe, or restaurant?

The price can vary depending on the type of business, size, number of locations, and how the music is used. KODA licenses can start from around DKK 149 per month, but the final price depends on the individual business.

What happens if I play music without the necessary KODA agreement?

If a business plays music publicly without the required license, the business may risk payment claims or invoices from rights organizations. That is why it is important to make sure the music is allowed to be used commercially.

Is WeWaive 100% KODA-free?

Yes, the music on WeWaive is KODA-license-free when used through the WeWaive platform. WeWaive has its own music library, created for businesses and commercial use.

Can I play Spotify in my shop?

Spotify is primarily made for private use. A regular Spotify account, including Spotify Premium, is normally not intended for public or commercial playback in businesses.

What is the difference between Spotify Business and WeWaive?

Spotify and similar music services give access to well-known songs, but commercial use in businesses often requires special licenses or business solutions.
WeWaive is developed specifically for businesses and offers music that can be used commercially without an extra KODA license for WeWaive music.

Is Spotify Premium enough to play music commercially?

No. Spotify Premium is a private user account and normally does not give permission to play music publicly in a shop, cafe, restaurant, salon, or other business.
