What is music clearance?
Short answer
Music clearance is the entire process of securing the music rights for a production, from identifying rights holders to signing licenses.
Music clearance is the entire process of securing the music rights for a production. You find out who the rights holders are, ask for permission, negotiate the price and put everything down in licenses. Only once everything is settled can the production be broadcast. Clearance takes time, so start early. TFA handles the complete clearance, for example for Don't Be a Douchebag with three synchronized tracks. Read the Don't Be a Douchebag case.
