I need advice on SAMRO.
We received a call from SAMRO claiming that we need to comply and have a license for any music that is played from radio, youtube, etc.
We have a small shop and we sometimes play different kinds of music on speakers that is set to a low volume.
Does SAMRO apply to us?
Is it compulsory for us to have a license?
If yes, what types of music does it cover?
Can we play royalty-free music without applying for a license?
What about music from Bandcamp (for instance) where a lot of the music there is free or not well-known by any standard?
What about well-known foreign music; e.g. Rammstein?
What about music from Japan; e.g. Man With a Mission, Survive Said the Prophet or Nujabes?
And none-mainsteam music; e.g. anime OST's and such?
Thanks
