Why invest in music licensing? Music can enhance the ambiance and delight your customers during their journey. Whether it's incorporated into movies, promotional videos, or other onboard entertainment, music enriches the passenger experience. Recognize the value of music not just to your passengers but also to its creators and owners. Public performance, usage, and playing copyrighted music on your motorcoach require permission.

Navigating individual permissions for every piece of music can be cumbersome and costly. That's where the ASCAP – BMI "blanket licenses" come into play. With one annual fee, you gain access to a vast repertoire of music represented by ASCAP and BMI. Enjoy the flexibility to adapt your music selection to evolving trends and customer preferences while complying with federal copyright laws.

The ASCAP – BMI licenses authorize performances of millions of copyrighted musical works, including those in the repertoires of over 60 affiliated foreign performing rights organizations. For comprehensive details on ASCAP and BMI memberships and the extensive music titles covered, visit http://www.ascap.com or www.bmi.com.

Join the hundreds of thousands of business owners across the United States who have embraced the convenience and affordability of ASCAP and BMI licenses. By partnering with ABA, members save over 60% on license fees compared to non-members, offering substantial cost savings and peace of mind.

Don't miss this unparalleled opportunity to elevate your onboard experience while enjoying significant savings. Act now to secure your exclusive member benefit and join the ABA community in redefining excellence in motorcoach operations!
