Do I need a license for less than 25 CDs, ringtones or PDDs?

Yes, it is required under U.S. Copyright Law. This is how the publisher - and ultimately, the songwriter - gets compensated for the use of their song. HFA licenses for a minimum of 25 units of physical products (CDs, cassettes, and vinyl), or 25 ringtones or permanent downloads (PDDs). You can apply for these licenses quickly and easily using Songfile® and pay with a credit card (MasterCard, Visa, or American Express) or from your checking account.
