Disclaimer

The data platform contains information on compositions in the BMI repertoire (i.e. works where one or more interests are licensed by BMI, including foreign compositions), and an expanded group of additional works not represented by BMI but with interests licensed by and reconciled with our Songview partner(s).

An authoritative view of data is an important foundation for a properly functioning music licensing system. BMI has high confidence in the accuracy of the data we provide, which is obtained from rights holders who, as royalty recipients, have every incentive to provide reliable data. While BMI cannot give a blanket guarantee regarding the accuracy of the data, this should not be of any concern to those who rely on our license or the information contained in the data platform because of the following provisions.

• Businesses that take out a BMI license can be assured that BMI will not bring an infringement action against a licensee that relies on the information contained in the data platform. Taking out a BMI license allows a business to rely on the rights afforded in our license agreements, should any issue arise regarding their use of works in which BMI has an interest.
• Any business that chooses not to take a BMI license and refrains from performing BMI music will not be sued by BMI for infringement. Additionally, BMI will not sue an individual or business for infringement for the performance of music in which BMI has an interest if, when that music is performed, it was not listed in the data platform.
