I have heard for example that Canada and Italy don’t, but obviously the US and UK do pay out. Does anyone know if Germany pays for these usages? I have music on a commercial airing there at the moment.

Thanks in advance. Author Posts Viewing 5 posts - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) Reply To: Does Germany Pay for TV Commercials?
