How do I get rights to use a popular song in an online presentation?

Answer 1

You would have to pay 'licensing' rights to the music company who produced the music.

This is not the same as paying apple music license - to listen to the music.

It's a legal process, get a lawyer, do nothing without a lawyer. Be prepared to pay a lot of money depending on the popularity of the song/artist.

It can cost millions for current songs.

And be aware, the artist has the right to say no. They may not wish to license their music.

1. you will pay to license it
2. you will pay for 'where it is played'
3. you will be limited to ONLY USE THE LICENSED MUSIC on your presentation - no where else - including websites.
4. licensing costs different rates, video, soundtracks, product, presentations, youtube, websites, etc
