About Easy Song & Our Services – Easy Song Help Center

About Easy Song

We make music licensing easy. Since 2005 (starting as Legacy Productions, then later as Easy Song Licensing), Easy Song has helped over 240,000 independent creators, businesses, and rights holders bridge the gap to the world's largest music publishers. We help you use the music you love, legally and affordably.

Whether you are an independent artist releasing a cover song, a filmmaker syncing a hit track, or a business needing rights clearance, we provide the expert guidance and technology to keep you compliant.

Rights Done Right

Our mission is to foster music creation and enrich music experiences.

We achieve this by handling the complex legal work so you don't have to. We protect our customers from liability while ensuring songwriters and publishers get paid fairly. We believe in:

Real Humans: When you call us, you speak to a licensing expert, not a bot.
Compliance First: We never guess on legalities. We provide 100% cleared rights.
Empowerment: We educate creators so they can build sustainable careers.

Our Core Services

We offer distinct services depending on how you plan to use the music.

1. Cover Song Licensing (Audio-Only)

Best for: Artists, Bands, Choirs, and Teachers releasing audio on Spotify, Apple Music, CD, or Vinyl.

If you want to record and release your own version of a song that someone else wrote, you need a Mechanical License. We make this process fast and automated.

Fast Turnaround: Licenses are typically secured in 1-2 business days.
100% Money-Back Guarantee: If we can't license it, you don't pay.
Seal of Authenticity: You receive a PDF license and a verifiable QR code linked to the IDBLM (International Database of Licensed Music) to prove your legal status to distributors and fans.

2. Custom Licensing (Video, Print, Theatrical)

Best for: Filmmakers, Advertisers, YouTubers, Print Publishers, and Ensembles.

For uses involving video (Sync), written lyrics/notes (Print), or stage performances (Theatrical), copyright law does not guarantee permission. You need a Custom License.

This is a "White Glove" service. Our experts leverage a database of over 12,000 publisher contacts to:

Research accurate rights holders.
Negotiate fees to fit your budget.
Handle all complex paperwork and payment facilitation.

3. Copyrighting Service

Best for: Songwriters and Recording Artists.

We assist songwriters and cover artists in protecting their intellectual property. We handle the federal filing process with the United States Copyright Office (USCO) for:

Original Compositions (PA): Protecting the lyrics and melody (for original songwriters).
Sound Recordings (SR): Protecting the specific audio master (for both original songwriters and cover artists).

4. The Easy Song Marketplace

Best for: Content Creators and Licensees needing master audio.

Need a backing track or a high-quality master recording for your project? Our Marketplace offers pre-cleared recordings performed by real professional musicians - absolutely no AI-generated music. Available for immediate licensing for creative, social media, or commercial projects.
