1. No Legal or Professional Advice
The content provided on this Site, including but not limited to articles regarding copyright law, music licensing, potential fines, and the legalities of using personal streaming services in a business environment, is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.
Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, financial, accounting, or other professional advice.
We are not a law firm and are not your attorney. Your use of the Site or any of its Tools does not create an attorney-client, consultant-client, fiduciary, or other professional relationship with Black Falcon DSG, LLC.
You should not rely on information provided through the Site as a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney or other appropriate professional concerning your specific circumstances.

2. Interactive Tools and Calculators
The Site may offer interactive tools, calculators, licensing checkers, assessment features, comparison tools, or other automated features (collectively, the “Tools”) designed to provide general information, estimates, or recommendations relating to music licensing, copyright exposure, licensing costs, potential fine ranges, or music service providers.
Estimates and Recommendations Only
All outputs generated by the Tools, including estimates, calculations, licensing recommendations, comparisons, and suggested music service providers, may be based on generalized assumptions, publicly available information, third-party information, statutory damage ranges, and information you provide.
Tool outputs are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute legal, financial, or other professional advice and do not guarantee any particular outcome or legal compliance.
Not a Substitute for Legal Counsel
The Tools are not intended to determine your legal obligations or replace advice from a qualified attorney or music licensing professional.
If you have received a demand letter or other communication from a performing rights organization, copyright owner, attorney, licensing provider, or other party asserting actual or potential liability, or if you are involved in or anticipate litigation, you should consult qualified legal counsel.
You should not rely on Tool outputs in any legal proceeding.
Assumptions May Not Apply to Your Situation
The Tools cannot account for every factual, legal, contractual, or operational circumstance.
Outputs may not reflect your particular business operations, industry, location, music usage, negotiated licensing arrangements, contractual obligations, enforcement history, or changes in applicable law, industry practices, provider terms, or licensing requirements.
No Guarantee of Compliance
Following any estimate, recommendation, comparison, or guidance generated by the Tools does not guarantee compliance with applicable copyright laws, music licensing obligations, the requirements of any performing rights organization, copyright owner, music licensing provider, governmental authority, or other third party.
You are solely responsible for determining and maintaining compliance with all applicable legal, contractual, and licensing requirements.
Information Submitted Through the Tools
Information submitted through the Tools may be collected and processed as described in our Privacy Policy.
Per-Location Estimates
Unless otherwise expressly stated, estimates generated by the Tools apply on a per-location basis.
Businesses operating multiple locations may have different aggregate licensing costs or potential exposure than reflected in a single-location estimate. Businesses with multiple zones per location may also require additional subscriptions or incur additional costs depending on the applicable provider and service plan.
3. Music Licensing Cost Calculator — Methodology
The Music Licensing Cost Savings Calculator generates estimates based on generalized methodology and assumptions.
PRO Cost Estimates
Base rates are derived from published rate schedules and documented information concerning major U.S. performing rights organizations. Estimates are calculated per location using business size and other selected inputs as applicable.
| Business Size | ASCAP | BMI | SESAC | GMR | Est. Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 750 sq ft | $220 | $230 | $160 | $90 | $700 |
| 750–1,500 sq ft | $320 | $310 | $210 | $120 | $960 |
| 1,500–3,500 sq ft | $450 | $420 | $290 | $160 | $1,320 |
| 3,500+ sq ft | $680 | $640 | $430 | $240 | $1,990 |
Important Caveats
PRO rates vary based on business type, size, usage, negotiated arrangements, and other factors.
Certain organizations may negotiate rates privately or may not publish comprehensive standard rates. Publicly available information concerning some licensing organizations may also be limited.
All figures generated by the calculator are intended as reasonable planning estimates only and are not guaranteed quotes, invoices, settlement amounts, or statements of actual legal liability.
Licensed Music Provider Costs
Any estimated licensed music service cost is based on publicly available provider pricing available at the time the applicable methodology was last updated.
Provider pricing, features, service tiers, and licensing coverage may change at any time.
You should confirm current pricing and licensing coverage directly with the applicable provider before purchasing or relying on any estimate.
Savings Calculations
Estimated savings calculations compare estimated licensing costs against estimated licensed-service costs using the assumptions described on the Site.
Actual savings, if any, may differ materially.
Unless otherwise stated, multi-year savings estimates do not account for inflation, rate increases, changes in provider pricing, changes in licensing requirements, or other future events.

Data used in connection with the calculator may include:
- published ASCAP rate information;
- published BMI licensing information;

- documented settlements, enforcement matters, and industry information;
