Are you breaking the law?
When you click “agree” to the terms and conditions on Spotify, you’re agreeing to listen for personal use only. So despite paying monthly fees for ad-free music, there’s simply no legal way to use Spotify in a commercial space, and no business is exempt.

Small business owners want lower music licence fees following Melbourne bar's $200,000 fine
By music and pop culture reporter Paul Donoughue
When you're in a restaurant or cafe, what does the music you hear over the house PA system do for you?
Does it enhance your experience — and encourage you to linger over your latte, or come back the following week — or does it make no discernible difference?
That's one of the key questions at the heart of a dispute between business owners and the music industry.
A month after a Melbourne bar was ordered to pay more than $200,000 for failing to pay the correct fees, music licensing bodies APRA and the PPCA have dismissed a call from restaurant and cafes owners to lower the fees for using copyrighted music in their establishments.
The fees, which ensure musicians get royalties when their music is used in commercial settings, vary depending on several factors but can range from a few hundred dollars a year to a few thousand.
"For some businesses it can be quite an impost on them, in addition to all your other licensing like your liquor licensing, paying the council, other property costs, food safety — all that stuff," James Coward, policy and public affairs manager of Restaurant and Catering Australia, said.
The lobby group had been asking OneMusic Australia — a new joint APRA-PPCA body set to launch next year — for "a dramatic readjustment of the pricing structure aligned with the capacity of what small businesses can pay".
They want a system closer to the one in New Zealand, which has lower fees.
OneMusic has so far dismissed that idea.
"The adoption of the New Zealand fees would represent a reduction in fees for dining businesses, but also a reduction in royalty revenue for music creators, which is not in line with the agreed aim of a licensing scheme that is fair and equitable for both business owners and music creators," a consultation paper released on Thursday said.
You can't just play your Spotify account in your cafe
Many business owners think they can plug their phone into a speaker and freely use their personal streaming account — for example, Spotify or Apple Music — in their cafe or restaurant. They can't — even if they are paying subscribers to those services.
That makes a lot of small business owners frustrated.
What else do you need?
Please keep in mind - All businesses need to have their OneMusic licence (APRA) to play music in public.
