GreenLight Music

GreenLight Music (www.greenlightmusic.com) is a U.S. company based in Los Angeles, California that secures permissions to use popular songs for use in presentations, videos, websites, sales meetings and tradeshows, stage productions and other projects. These are commonly known as synchronization, or sync uses.

A sync license allows the user to synchronize copyrighted music to another medium, such as a video, presentation or website.

GreenLight Music is a part of Corbis Entertainment, which handles the licensing of film, celebrities and other entertainment content, celebrity seeding, product placement and entertainment PR. Corbis Entertainment is a division of Corbis, a Seattle-based company that licenses the rights to images, footage and other visual media.

Features

Users can secure a license for hundreds of thousands of popular songs. A license for commercial projects can be secured in two ways: “Make an offer,” where  users submit a price they would like to pay for the song and “Get it now,” where users purchase a prepriced song.

Make an offer

Users can search for a specific song or use navigational tool that allows them to filter songs by themes, moods, genres and decades. Once they select a song, they will complete a form that indicates the use, the length of time and the audience size. The users will then see a “GreenLight savvy offer,” which provides an amount that GreenLight believes will be accepted by song owners. The user will then submit an offer and then GreenLight Music negotiates on the user’s behalf to obtain permission to use the song for the intended purpose. The music companies, recording artists, and composers can accept, counter, or decline the offer. When the offer is accepted by all song owners, the user will be notified and then can purchase and print their license.

Get it now The “Get it now” selection of songs are preapproved and prepriced for specific uses. Once a song is selected, the user indicates the use, the length of time and the audience size in order to view the price. If the user agrees to proceed, they will complete the transaction and can print the license immediately.
