Music Rights and Licensing
The use of music in our sport has become foundational to freestyle routines as well as general production of our events. As a result, we must act responsibly in respecting the music rights of the artists and writers who create the music. International Federations (IFs) from all sports have had to address the use of copyrighted music in their events.
To solve this problem, IJRU has partnered with a reputable music rights service, ClicknClear - a professional music industry licensing company with the backing of music industry rightsholders. We encourage our members to explore this resource and learn more about music rights and licences.

What do I need to know for the World Championships?
Athletes and teams will not be required to purchase music licences in order to compete this year, however, we encourage you learn about music rights and purchase your music through ClicknClear.
Benefits of licensing music
Here are some key benefits for athletes and our sport as a whole:
Obtain official music industry licenses at a pre-cleared affordable rate that is far lower than you could achieve individually.
Instantly license music via ClicknClear’s website – pay and receive the license immediately.
Legally create a music mix to accompany your routine, protecting yourself and the sport as a whole.
Additional video rights become available for further licensing by IJRU and other competition organizers.
Share jump rope/rope skipping content online using your freestyle music, to help grow our sport.
ClicknClear gives a legal indemnity with each license to their music.

Navigating global music rights can be an overwhelming task. To solve this problem, IJRU has partnered with a reputable music rights service, ClicknClear.
ClicknClear is a professional music industry licensing company with the backing of music industry rightsholders – they have created a one-stop online marketplace where you can quickly and easily license from a large and rapidly-growing catalogue of great original music with the all the rights you need to use in your sports mix, alongside your performances.
ClicknClear has many genres of music, as well as music from around the world. You’ll find tracks from iconic and current stars as well as up and coming artists and producers.
When teams license music from ClicknClear for their mix, IJRU and other competition organisers are then able to license the further online music rights we need to help popularize our sport and eliminate the need to mute video or live streams of performances.
