Do I have to pay Unisono if I use music from the ‘public domain’?

Music from the public domain:

  • music of which the authors and composers passed away more than 70 years ago;
  • and of which the recording is more than 70 years old.

If both conditions are met, you don’t have to pay Unisono. If not, you will have to pay copyright royalties and/or the Fair Remuneration to Unisono.
