Common legal questions
MyWebRadio.ai is now focused on the French market. These pages keep the operational answer centered on France, with SACEM/SPRE context and clear escalation paths.
Does a French business always need a SACEM or SPRE licence to play music?
Not always, but the answer depends on the real playback source, the venue, and the rights involved. France-specific SACEM/SPRE context should be checked before making a definitive claim.
Does an office or waiting room count, or only shops and restaurants?
Offices, waiting rooms, salons, gyms, hotels, clinics, and event spaces can all trigger licensing questions in France. Do not assume that only retail or hospitality settings are covered.
Can a business use a personal consumer music account or radio stream legally?
Usually no for personal streaming accounts, because consumer terms often prohibit commercial use. Even relaying radio or TV can still trigger separate public-performance obligations in France.
If music is fully AI-generated, does it fall within SACEM repertoire?
When the music is fully generated by AI, with no identified human author, composer, lyricist, or performer, it is normally outside the SACEM author/composer repertoire. That is the point of MyWebRadio.ai: providing an original, documented audio source distinct from traditional music catalogues. For professional use, we keep clear documentation on the source, usage terms, and generation method so a venue can answer cleanly if questioned.
What should a business have ready if inspected or challenged?
Keep a clear internal policy, identify your playback source, retain the commercial terms you rely on, and escalate edge cases before staff make legal statements. Operational certainty matters more than improvised answers.
When should a company escalate to counsel instead of relying on the product pages?
Escalate when SACEM/SPRE guidance is unclear, when you mix live music with recorded music, when you use several playback sources, or when someone asks you to prove an exemption in writing.
How is pricing confirmed?
Enterprise pricing is not displayed publicly. It is confirmed during customer contact after reviewing the business context, rollout scope, and any legal or operational constraints.
