Can I get a license through Songfile® for a foreign release?

HFA issues mechanical licenses that are valid for the physical or digital reproduction (a DPD) of compositions embodied in sound recordings that are manufactured and distributed to the public for private use in the U.S. (including its territories and possessions).

With respect to licensees located outside of the U.S., there is a distinction between the licenses that are available for the reproduction of physical products, such as CDs, versus digital reproductions (DPDs), such as permanent digital downloads, interactive streams, limited downloads, and ringtones.
