Copyright Music Usage Guidelines

Summary

Using copyrighted music, such as Nintendos, requires permission regardless of the events size. A license from the copyright holder is necessary, even for private concerts, to avoid infringement. Playing music alone in private is less likely to be enforced, but public performances, even without an audience, generally require permission.

Is it still copyright infringment if it is just me playing the music alone?
Hey! Playing copyrighted music alone, even in private, can still be considered copyright infringement if you're performing it publicly or distributing recordings. Here are some points to consider:
- Private Use: Generally, private, non-commercial use at home is less likely to be enforced.
- Public Performance: Any public performance, even without an audience, typically requires permission.
Hope that helps!
