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.
