The use of music in film and television is now more prevalent than ever. To use a song or recording in a motion picture or television program, producers must secure synchronization licenses.

Authority to grant these rights lies entirely with the copyright owner, who is not mandated under any existing law to allow such uses. In order to obtain these rights, separate deals must be negotiated with the copyright owners of the musical composition and the sound recording.

Sample Clearance Limited has handled the music supervision for several exciting videogame projects.  Our wide knowledge of all genres of music and our licensing skills have made music supervision a natural extension of our services.  Our clients include Eidos, Ubisoft, and Arush Enterprises.  Titles on which we have done music supervision include “And 1 Streetball”, “25 to Life”, “Playboy: The Mansion”, “Get On Da Floor”, and “America’s Army “.

If you are an artist or songwriter and believe that you have unpaid royalties from a record company, publisher, or a PRO, we can get you get paid what you deserve to be paid.
