What if I publicly perform music without a Licence?

30 Apr 2025

We seek to educate and inform music users and business owners on the value of music and advise on a Licence that will fulfil their needs and protect them under Copyright Law. At the same time, the Copyright Law safeguards Authors and Composers from users who choose to disregard copyrights when using music.

Music users who publicly perform Copyrighted musical works without a Licence are committing copyright infringement under the Singapore Copyright Act 2021. Users may face civil and/or criminal liability, which can lead to injunctions, damages, fines and/or imprisonment.
