Webcasting 

You launch an Internet radio with or without a subscription.

Non-interactive webcasting :
So-called “traditional” web radio services, which are non-interactive or not dedicated to one or more artists, now come under the legal license system, rather than the exclusive rights system requiring prior authorization.
Article L. 214-1 of the Intellectual Property Code has created a limit to exclusive rights by instituting, in certain cases listed exhaustively by law, a legal licensing system which removes the requirement for the consent of rights holders and grants only a right to remuneration, in return for the use of a commercial phonogram, established by the equitable remuneration commission provided for in article L. 214-4 of the Intellectual Property Code. 

A scale of remuneration for non-interactive webcasting was adopted by the said commission by a decision dated November 7, 2019, which came into force on December 1, 2019. 

As a result, since December 1, 2019, the Société pour la Perception de la Rémunération Equitable (SPRE) has been responsible for collecting equitable remuneration for non-interactive webcasting, in application of the July 7, 2016 law on freedom of creation, architecture and heritage (LCAP). 

 Semi-interactive webcasting :
The SCPP manages web radio services with delinearized functions (pause, skip) or semi-interactive webcasting services (please contact us for details).
