Here is a sampling of the range of values for actual deals that have involved newly composed or existing music license
fees in the past few years. This data will give you an idea of just how wide the ranges can be for using your music,
especially if it first has gained some level of mass appeal. If you are new to licensing and able to attract the interest of
buyers, your initial fees will likely be quite a bit less. As youll see, the size of the audience, the numbers of different
media used and the length of the license all influence the fees.
