I want to manufacture a small number of CD’s for a promotional giveaway or a charitable organization. Do I still have to pay royalties?

Yes. CMRRA does not issue gratis licences on behalf of its music publisher clients. All reproductions of a musical work must be licensed, at the applicable royalty rate, no matter what purpose they will serve or the number of copies being pressed. For more information, please visit our Pay-As-You-Press page.
